Fragment of a Tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a horizontal band of darker rust-colored embroidered text on a fabric background. The fabric is light beige or off-white with visible creases and discoloration. The horizontal band of embroidery runs across the center of the image. The embroidered text within the band is in a foreign script. The fabric appears to be worn and aged, with visible signs of use and deterioration, particularly along the bottom edge where some threads appear to be loose or frayed. This is "Fragment of a Tiraz".
