Fragment of a Tiraz?

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment of a Tiraz: A horizontal strip of fabric with a beige background and a repeating pattern of interconnected rounded shapes. The shapes are outlined in white and contain red, orange, white, and blue designs. The edges of the fabric are frayed, with loose blue and red threads visible. The beige background appears to be a woven fabric, possibly linen or cotton. The overall design is symmetrical, with the rounded shapes connected in a continuous pattern. The colors used are muted, with shades of beige, red, orange, white, and blue. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and deterioration. The pattern and design suggest a possible Middle Eastern or North African origin. The artist is unknown.
