Fragments from a Tunic

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragments from a Tunic by unknown artist. Several pieces of fabric with colorful designs and frayed edges. The fabric pieces are arranged in three rows. The top row has two long, thin pieces with a repeating design. The middle row has three round pieces with a face in the center of each and one long, thin piece with a repeating design. The bottom row has one long, thin piece with a repeating design. The designs on the fabric are red, green, gold, and black. The background of the image is light gray. The fabric appears to be frayed and torn in places. The fabric pieces are laid flat on the background. The faces on the round pieces appear to be wearing a hat or headpiece. The repeating designs on the long, thin pieces appear to be a series of interconnected loops or swirls. The fabric appears to be a type of woven material. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven.
