Border Fragment of a Shawl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Border Fragment of a Shawl by Indian Artist. A rectangular piece of fabric with a yellow background and a repeating pattern of red, blue, and green designs. The design features a series of arches with intricate details, including flowers and leaves. The arches are arranged in a repeating pattern, with each arch connected to the one below it. The fabric has a border around the edges, featuring a similar design to the main pattern. The border is made up of small, repeating shapes in red, blue, and green. The fabric appears to be made of a thick, woven material, possibly wool or silk. The overall effect is one of intricate, detailed design and rich color. The fabric is likely a fragment of a larger shawl, given its rectangular shape and the presence of a border on only one side. The fabric is mounted on a beige background, which provides a neutral contrast to the vibrant colors of the fabric.
