Samite fragment with hunters

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of hunters and animals in shades of green, yellow, and blue. The fabric is torn and frayed around the edges, with some areas of the pattern faded or worn away. The fabric appears to be a fragment, with a rough, irregular shape. The background of the image is a solid tan color, providing a neutral backdrop for the fabric. The fabric's pattern features multiple figures on horseback, some holding bows or spears, and interacting with animals, likely hunting. The figures and animals are depicted in a stylized, abstract manner.
