Brocade with Phoenixes

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of brocade fabric titled "Brocade with Phoenixes" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular and made of off-white material with a frayed edge. The fabric features a repeating pattern of 25 golden phoenixes, arranged in five rows of five. Each phoenix has a teardrop-shaped body with a long neck and tail, and appears to be surrounded by flames or waves. In the center of the fabric, there is a red stamp with foreign writing. The fabric is set against a dark brown background, and there are several white threads visible on the right side.
