Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile by the artist shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with intricate designs and patterns. The fabric is primarily beige with a woven texture, and it features a variety of colors including gold, red, blue, and black. The top section has a repeating pattern of teardrop shapes with pointed ends, outlined in black and filled with gold, and featuring a red and white design inside. Below this are several horizontal bands of different patterns, including rows of small crosses and geometric shapes. The bottom section has a diamond-shaped pattern in red and gold. The fabric appears to be frayed and worn, with loose threads and uneven edges. The background of the image is a solid beige color, which helps to highlight the details of the fabric.
