Segmentum

Cleveland Museum of Art

Large, irregularly shaped textile with a red and gold design. The textile features a central figure surrounded by four other figures. The central figure is in a circular frame. The four surrounding figures are positioned at the ends of a cross-like shape formed by a tree-like design with a pot at the bottom. The figures have light skin tones and wear blue garments. The tree-like design has a pot at the bottom and branches with leaves extending upwards. The background of the design is red, and there is a gold border around the edge. The border features a repeating pattern of green, blue, and red shapes. The edges of the textile are frayed and worn. The textile, titled "Segmentum", is by an unknown artist. The overall shape is rounded with jagged edges.
