Fragment of a Caftan

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Caftan, Khanum, a woman artist from Bukhara. The image shows a fragment of a caftan with a beige background and dark brown designs. The fabric appears worn and aged, with rough and jagged edges. In the center of the image, there is a hexagonal section containing two men on horseback, one on a larger horse with another animal resembling a lion or dog below. The men wear patterned outfits and hold bows. A similar scene is partially shown at the bottom. The fabric features a pattern of plants in the top left and bottom left corners. A dotted line borders the hexagonal section, with similar patterns on either side. The background behind the caftan fragment is gray.
