Fragment of a Tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz by unknown artist. The image shows a fragment of a textile with a faded rectangular design. The design is made up of dark and light brown threads that are intricately woven together. The threads are densely packed, creating a textured and rough appearance. The edges of the design are frayed, with loose threads hanging down. The background of the textile is a solid burnt orange color, providing a stark contrast to the faded design. The design appears to be a repeating pattern of vertical lines and shapes. The overall appearance is one of aged and worn fabric, with the design appearing to be partially deteriorated. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown and orange dominating the image.
