Fragment of a Tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a fragment of a tiraz, a type of textile. The fabric is off-white and rectangular with rough, frayed edges; the top and bottom are slightly curved. The fabric appears to be made of a woven material, possibly linen or cotton, with visible vertical and horizontal threads. There are some darker areas and spots on the fabric. The right edge is more frayed and torn than the left edge. A line of red Arabic script is embroidered horizontally across the center of the fabric. The background behind the fabric is beige. The title of the piece is "Fragment of a Tiraz".
