Striped Brocade

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric titled "Striped Brocade" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular with frayed edges on all sides. The fabric has vertical stripes in alternating shades of orange and gold. There are thin green and white stripes between the wider orange and gold stripes. The orange and gold stripes have a repeating pattern of small blue and white flowers. The fabric appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly silk or satin. The background behind the fabric is solid black. The right edge of the fabric is uneven and has a few loose threads. The top edge of the fabric is also frayed.
