Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with a central symmetrical design. The central design features a tan, blue, and red geometric pattern resembling a leaf or teardrop shape with a pointed bottom. The pointed bottom of the central design is surrounded by curved lines and shapes. There are curved lines and shapes in tan, blue, and red on either side of the central design. The fabric appears to be woven with a visible grid pattern. The fabric is frayed and torn in several areas, with rough edges. The fabric appears to be a fragment of a larger textile. The title of this piece is "Fragment of a Tiraz-Style Textile".
