Length of Silk Brocade

Cleveland Museum of Art

Length of Silk Brocade by unknown artist. The image shows a long, rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is primarily maroon red with a floral design in shades of yellow, blue, green, white, and gold. The design features flowers, leaves, and curved lines that form a symmetrical pattern. The fabric appears to be silk brocade, with a smooth and lustrous texture. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting that it may be a raw or unfinished piece. The background behind the fabric is light gray. The fabric is oriented vertically, with the long edges running up and down. The pattern on the fabric is repeated in a vertical sequence. The overall effect is one of intricate, ornate design.
