Fragment of a Clavus with Man on Horseback

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Clavus with Man on Horseback by unknown. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a woven design. The fabric has a rough, frayed edge around its perimeter. A central panel depicts a man riding a horse. The man wears a tunic and has his right arm bent at the elbow. The horse faces right with its ears pointed upward. The man and horse are rendered in shades of beige against a maroon background. Flanking the central panel are two narrower panels with vertical stripes in shades of green, beige, and black, featuring a repeating pattern of diamond shapes. The fabric rests on a beige background with a hexagonal pattern.
