Fragment of a Clavus from a Tunic

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Clavus from a Tunic by Unknown Artist. The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with frayed edges, light brown in color, possibly made of burlap or similar material. The fabric features a central design with a figure sitting on a platform or throne-like structure, surrounded by a halo. The figure wears a long robe and sits above a large, dark blue oval section with gold-colored designs. The central design is bordered on either side by a pattern of orange and white swirling lines. The fabric appears to be a fragment, with the top and bottom edges frayed and rough. There are holes and tears throughout the fabric, suggesting it is old and worn. The background of the image is a solid gray color.
