Fragment with Gold Foil, from a Furnishing Fabric

Cleveland Museum of Art

A fragment of fabric with a circular design. The fabric consists of two parts: a rough, textured golden-brown background and a smoother, darker brown circular center. The background fabric appears to be made of a coarse, woven material with a thick, uneven texture. It has a golden-brown color and is frayed and torn in several places, with rough edges. The circular center is a darker brown color with a gold foil pattern. The pattern consists of intricate, curved lines and shapes, including what appear to be flowers or leaves. The gold foil is shiny and reflective. The circular center is also frayed and torn in several places, with a large hole in the middle. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
