Fragment of Silk Damask Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of Silk Damask Textile by artist is a vertical, rectangular piece of maroon-colored fabric. The fabric has a raised, patterned design with a floral motif. The pattern consists of raised, interlocking designs in a repeating sequence. The fabric's edges are rough and uneven, suggesting a cut or torn finish. The background behind the fabric is light gray, providing contrast to the maroon color of the textile. There is a small white label or marker at the bottom right corner of the fabric.
