Fragment with confronted animal medallions and kufic bands

Cleveland Museum of Art

Beige-colored fabric fragment with a repeating design of four circular medallions, each containing animals and a central tree-like motif. The medallions have a thin border and are arranged in two rows of two. The circles are separated by diamond shapes containing abstract patterns. The fabric's edges are frayed and torn, with several areas of damage and missing pieces. The background behind the fabric is white. The fabric also features kufic bands with Arabic script.
