Fragment of a Shawl

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric, titled "Fragment of a Shawl," is the work of an unknown artist. The fabric has a dark brown background and features a repeating pattern of oval shapes with pointed ends, resembling leaves or flowers. The ovals are arranged in rows and columns, with each one containing a smaller, intricate design. The designs within the ovals are symmetrical and feature a combination of red, blue, and white colors. The fabric appears to be made of a thick, woven material, possibly wool or silk, and has a rough, frayed edge around the perimeter. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
