Fragment (from a Garment ?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is a close-up of a textile fragment, possibly from a garment. The fragment is rectangular with frayed edges and appears to be made of woven fabric. The dominant colors are shades of brown, beige, and tan. There are darker brown and black lines used for outlining and details. The top of the fragment features a decorative border with a repeating pattern. Below the border is a stylized figure with large eyes and an elaborate hairstyle or headpiece. The figure has a body that resembles an animal, possibly a horse or a mythical creature, with a curving tail. The background of the image behind the fragment is a light beige or off-white color.
