Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Sash (Uckur) by unknown artist. The image shows a piece of off-white fabric with a floral design embroidered on it. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be made of linen or a similar natural fiber. The top portion of the fabric is plain and has rough, uneven edges. The bottom portion features a colorful embroidered design, which includes a central stem with three large red flowers and several green leaves. The flowers have red and white stripes, and the leaves are various shades of green. There are also blue leaves and stems, as well as some yellow accents. A decorative border runs along the bottom edge of the fabric, featuring blue and gold embroidery. The background behind the fabric is a light gray color.
