Square Reversible Shawl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Square Reversible Shawl by artist Anni Albers is a square textile with a paisley pattern. The shawl has a brown background with red, green, and white designs. The pattern consists of intricate swirling shapes resembling teardrops or paisley motifs, repeated across the fabric. A border around the edge of the shawl features a smaller version of the same design. The top and bottom edges have tassels in red, green, and white. The shawl hangs from a white rod, casting a shadow on a gray wall.
