Lampas with rampant lions, palmettes, and escutcheons

Cleveland Museum of Art

Red and green fabric with a repeating pattern. The pattern consists of large red curved shapes with green outlines, resembling leaves or petals. These shapes alternate with green sections featuring golden-yellow lions. The lions are depicted in various poses, some standing on their hind legs. Green and red stems and leaves connect the different elements. Small white and red flower-like motifs are scattered throughout. The fabric edges are frayed and uneven. The background behind the fabric is beige.
