Fragment of Tomb Cover

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of Tomb Cover: A fragmentary piece of fabric with a dark background and light-colored designs. The fabric is irregularly shaped with rough, frayed edges. A large oval design dominates the center, featuring a tree flanked by two deer-like animals. The oval is surrounded by two concentric circles, with the space between them filled with various animals and foliage. Above the oval, a smaller, curved section of fabric has a similar design. The fabric appears to be a fragment of a larger textile, possibly a tomb cover, with the main design element being the central oval motif.
