Embroidered Sash (Uckur)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered Sash (Uckur) by unknown artist. The image shows a long, rectangular piece of off-white fabric, likely linen, laid flat and oriented horizontally. The fabric is divided into two sections: the left part, which is approximately one-third of the fabric, features intricate embroidery, while the right part, which is approximately two-thirds of the fabric, is plain. The embroidered section has a repeating pattern of ferns and small flowers in shades of green, beige, and blue. The embroidery is densely packed and covers the entire left section of the fabric. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, suggesting a handmade or unfinished piece. The background of the image is a solid light gray color.
