Printed Cotton with Egyptian Scene

Cleveland Museum of Art

Red, black, and white printed cotton fabric with an Egyptian scene. The scene depicts people wearing headdresses and robes, holding staffs and standing beside structures. The people are positioned among a pattern of flowers, leaves, and geometric shapes. The background of the fabric alternates between red and black. The fabric has a frayed edge around its perimeter and is mounted on a white background. The design includes several elements: - A person on the left side wearing a headdress and robe, holding a staff - A person on the right side wearing a headdress and robe, holding a staff - A structure with a domed top behind the people - A chariot wheel in the lower portion of the fabric. The fabric's pattern repeats throughout.
