Length of Silk

Cleveland Museum of Art

Length of Silk by an unknown artist is a square piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is cream-colored with a repeating pattern of pale blue-gray floral motifs. The motifs are teardrop shaped with a wavy line down the center. The background of the fabric has a subtle sheen, suggesting it may be made of silk. The fabric is laid flat on a light gray surface, with the edges slightly curled up.
