Fragment of a Tiraz, Probably Inset from a Sleeve

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a fragment of a tiraz, likely from a sleeve, with a beige background and three horizontal bands of patterned fabric. The background is a light beige color with darker brown and white splotches throughout, resembling stains or tears. The three horizontal bands are in the center of the image, each with intricate designs and patterns. The top and bottom bands have a similar design with a repeating pattern of small, stylized flowers or leaves in shades of blue, brown, and white on a beige background. The middle band has a similar design but with a more intricate pattern and additional colors. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and deterioration. The overall appearance suggests that the fragment is a remnant of a larger textile, possibly from a historical or cultural artifact. The tiraz fragment by an unknown artist appears to be a piece of a sleeve.
