Woodblock Printed Textile Fragments

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, off-white fabric with a repeating pattern of people and plants. The fabric is vertical and has rough edges on both sides and at the bottom. The fabric features a repeating design with several figures of people wearing traditional Asian clothing in red, blue, and beige. The people are depicted in various poses: one person is standing on a table-like object holding a tool; another is holding a spear; and another is leaning on a pole. The design also includes various plants and flowers in shades of red, blue, and brown. The background of the fabric is off-white with a visible texture. The background behind the fabric is light gray. The fabric appears to be made from woodblock printed textile.
