Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile by unknown artist. The image shows a horizontal strip of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is primarily a faded red color with a repeating pattern of six identical rectangular sections. Each section contains a symmetrical, stylized floral design with curved lines and shapes. The design within each rectangle is primarily brown and black. The rectangles are separated by thin, irregular strips of fabric. The bottom edge of the strip has a zig-zag pattern in shades of beige and brown. The background of the image is a solid beige color. The fabric appears to be old and worn. The image presents a close-up view of the textile.
