Part of a Gammadion Border

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a fragment of an ancient textile, specifically a gammadion border. The textile is beige with a woven texture. In the top left corner, a vertical, elongated, pointed oval shape contains an image of a person with long hair. Above this oval shape is a menorah-like object with three prongs on each side. Two horizontal sections are below, with the top one featuring a row of figures underneath a decorative border. The bottom section shows a row of people dressed in long robes, some holding objects. The figures have minimal facial features and are depicted in shades of brown, green, and tan. The background of the textile is beige.
