Embroidered Strip

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Strip by an unknown artist features a long, narrow, vertically oriented piece of fabric with a white background. The fabric has a repeating pattern of green curved lines that twist and turn, forming oval shapes. Inside and around these oval shapes are multicolored floral designs in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and red. A border on either side of the fabric features small, repeating designs in pink, yellow, blue, and green. The fabric appears to be hand-stitched with intricate embroidery. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
