Fragment of a Band

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Band by an unknown artist. The image shows a frayed and worn textile fragment with a predominantly red, beige, and black color scheme. The fragment features a repeating pattern of circular designs with intricate details. Two complete circles are visible, each containing a smaller circle within a larger circle, outlined in black and filled with red and beige. The circles are surrounded by additional ornate patterns and shapes. A horizontal band with small black dots runs across the top of the fragment. The edges are frayed and tattered, with loose threads visible. The background of the image is a light gray color. The fabric appears to be a woven material, possibly silk or wool, with a rough texture. The overall shape of the fragment is irregular, with a rough rectangle and a protrusion at the bottom.
