Fragment, Probably a Border from a Large Panel

Cleveland Museum of Art

The fragment of textile, titled "Fragment, Probably a Border from a Large Panel," created by an unknown artist, depicts a worn, tan-colored piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric features a central band of intricate, colorful geometric patterns. The geometric pattern consists of repeating shapes in shades of red, green, yellow, and dark brown. Two horizontal lines, one above and one below the central band, feature smaller, repeating patterns in the same colors. The fabric appears to be made of a coarse, woven material, possibly linen or cotton. The background of the image is a neutral beige color. The overall appearance of the fragment suggests it may be a remnant from a larger textile panel. The frayed edges and worn appearance indicate the fragment has deteriorated over time.
