Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile by unknown artist. The image shows a horizontal strip of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is primarily composed of horizontal rows of circular motifs that are predominantly red, blue, gold, and white. The circular motifs are outlined in red and contain a blue center surrounded by gold. The top and bottom of the fabric strip are bordered by a solid blue band. The fabric appears to be frayed and torn in several places, with some areas displaying rough edges and loose threads. The background of the image is a light beige color, providing a neutral contrast to the vibrant colors of the fabric. The fabric appears to be mounted on a backing material. The image presents a detailed view of the intricate design and colors of the fabric.
