Silk Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Silk Fragment by artist unknown, shows a dark grey or blue-grey piece of silk fabric against a light grey background. The fabric is irregularly shaped with frayed edges, resembling a trapezoid or a triangle with the top side longer than the bottom. The fabric features a repeating pattern of small, intricate designs that resemble chevrons or interlocking diamonds. The pattern is made up of a lighter-colored thread on a darker background. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with some discoloration and fraying around the edges.
