Embroidered cotton tiraz

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered cotton tiraz by Unknown. The image shows a long, horizontal piece of fabric with a tan background. The fabric appears to be made of cotton and has a visible weave pattern. There are dark brown stains and discolorations throughout the fabric. A line of Arabic text is embroidered in dark thread across the center of the fabric. The text is written in a curved line and consists of two rows of script. The top row of text is smaller than the bottom row. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with some areas of damage or fraying. The overall color of the fabric is a light brown or beige. The embroidery is done in a simple, cursive style. The fabric has a rough, textured appearance. The image is likely a close-up view of the fabric, as the edges are not visible.
