Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile, with a predominantly beige background. The textile features three horizontal bands. The top and bottom bands are black with a beige curvilinear pattern. The central band contains five rounded rectangular medallions with curvilinear borders in beige, red, blue, and yellow hues. The medallions depict a variety of animals, including a white deer on a red background, a white and red bird on a red background, and a yellow and blue creature on a yellow background. The textile appears worn and frayed around the edges.
