Turban end with tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a brown background and three horizontal bands of black and gold designs. The fabric, titled "Turban end with tiraz", appears to be aged, with visible signs of wear and tear, including discoloration and fraying. The fabric is rectangular in shape. The three horizontal bands are evenly spaced and run across the width of the fabric. The top and bottom bands are identical, featuring a repeating pattern of gold Arabic calligraphy on a black background. The middle band has a similar design but with a more intricate pattern. The fabric's background is a light brown color, with a visible texture that resembles woven fibers, likely silk. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven.
