Silk Brocaded Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Silk Brocaded Textile by unknown artist. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a frayed edge. The fabric is primarily green with a repeating pattern of darker green vertical stripes. Each stripe contains a series of small circles with a white center and a dark green outer ring. Superimposed over the striped pattern are large, light brown floral motifs with leaves and stems. The flowers have five petals and are arranged in a scattered, organic pattern. The background behind the fabric is plain and off-white. The bottom edge of the fabric is slightly wavy.
