Embroidered Raffia Pile Cloth

Cleveland Museum of Art

Embroidered raffia pile cloth by unknown. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a geometric pattern; the fabric is light brown with dark brown lines. The geometric pattern consists of many diamond shapes that interlock. Along the diamonds are lines and rectangles. The left edge has dark brown triangular pieces of fabric folded over. The fabric looks rough and handmade. The background behind the fabric is light gray.
