Tapestry-woven Yoke from a Tunic

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tapestry-woven Yoke from a Tunic by unknown artist. The image shows a piece of fabric with a tapestry-woven design, forming a yoke. The yoke has a symmetrical, V shape with the point at the bottom. The fabric is primarily shades of red, with green, blue, and brown. The tapestry weaving is densely packed with geometric patterns. The yoke is divided into sections with distinct designs. The bottom section has a rectangular shape with symmetrical patterns on either side. The fabric around the yoke is plain, light brown, and frayed at the edges. The background of the image is beige. The edges of the fabric are rough and torn. The yoke appears to be from an old tunic.
