Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragmentary Segmentum from a Tunic by Unknown. The image shows a fragment of a tunic with a design. The main design shows a man on horseback on a background fabric that is beige. The horse and rider are depicted in shades of brown and black. The horse faces right; the rider holds an object in their right hand. The rider wears a hat. Two dogs are below the horse, one on either side. The dog on the left faces right; the dog on the right faces left. Both dogs are depicted in shades of brown and black. Above the horse and rider is a small square design in shades of brown. The background fabric is beige and has a woven texture. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with frayed edges around the design. The design is stitched onto the fabric. The colors are muted and earthy.
