Brocaded velvet cover with sunbursts

Cleveland Museum of Art

Red velvet cover with gold brocade. The cover features a repeating pattern of sunbursts. Each sunburst motif consists of a central circle surrounded by radiating lines and intricate designs. The sunbursts are arranged in rows and columns, separated by leaf-like shapes. A thin gold border surrounds the cover. Two long thin vertical lines are superimposed over the image, and a square formed by two short lines connects them in the center.
