Fragment of a Tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz by Unknown Artist. The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a light beige color and a rough texture. The fabric appears to be made of linen or cotton and has a visible weave pattern. There are dark brown stains on the bottom left and right sides of the fabric. The fabric has a horizontal line of Arabic script embroidered in black thread across the center. The script is written in a flowing, cursive style and appears to be a blessing or invocation. The fabric is frayed at the edges and has a few loose threads visible. The background of the image is a plain white surface.
