Fragment of Brocaded Silk

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragment of Brocaded Silk by Unknown Artist shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a pinkish-orange border on the left side. The fabric is beige with a repeating pattern of trees, flowers, and animals in various colors including green, blue, brown, and pink. The right edge of the fabric has a thin strip of multicolored threads. The fabric appears to be worn and frayed at the edges. The background behind the fabric is gray.
