Fragment of a Tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz, likely from the Middle East or North Africa, features a long, narrow piece of off-white fabric with frayed edges. The fabric appears to be made of linen, with a rough texture and a light beige color. It has dark brown stains and tears scattered throughout, with some areas of the fabric disintegrating. Two horizontal lines of black Arabic script are written across the center. The bottom edge of the fabric features a fringe of loose threads. The background behind the fabric is a plain light gray color. The overall appearance suggests that the fabric is old and worn.
