Embroidered Border

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered Border by Unknown Artist. The rectangular embroidered piece has a black background with beige designs. The top and bottom have narrow borders with a leaf and flower pattern. The left side features a brick wall with an archway and a figure standing in it. Three people are present in the center, with two on the right side. Two trees with leaves and flowers are visible, one on the left and one on the right. The people and trees are depicted in a simple, outline style. The fabric appears worn and frayed around the edges. The background behind the embroidered piece is light gray.
