Tiraz with dense guilloche bands

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tiraz with dense guilloche bands by Unknown. The image shows a long, vertically oriented piece of fabric with intricate patterns. The fabric is light brown with a beige background. It appears to be a textile fragment with frayed edges. The fabric features repeating sections of interlocking curvilinear lines forming bands. These bands alternate with bands featuring Arabic script in red. The script bands are separated from the curvilinear bands by thin, solid red lines. The curvilinear bands have an interlocking or guilloche pattern. Small gaps and tears are visible throughout, especially on the left side and bottom.
