Selimut (Man's Textile)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The textile titled "Selimut (Man's Textile)" by an unknown artist is rectangular with a fringe along the top and bottom edges. The background of the textile is composed of vertical stripes in black and brown. Superimposed on the stripes are repeating geometric patterns in white, black, and brown. The geometric patterns are diamond-shaped and symmetrical, with some featuring a central line. The diamond shapes are oriented vertically. The fringe along the top and bottom edges is made up of brown and black threads. The textile fills most of the frame, with a small portion of the white background visible around the edges.
