Border Fragment with Birds and Flowers

Cleveland Museum of Art

The textile fragment, titled "Border Fragment with Birds and Flowers", features a horizontal strip of colorful embroidery. The fragment is composed of a repeating pattern of flowers and birds in shades of red, orange, blue, and yellow. The flowers are intricately designed with multiple petals, while the birds are depicted in various poses. The embroidery is densely packed, with the flowers and birds arranged in a continuous sequence along the length of the fragment. The background of the image is a light beige color, providing a neutral contrast to the vibrant colors of the embroidery. Small tassels are present at the bottom of the fragment, adding texture and visual interest.
