Fragment from a Tunic

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fragment from a Tunic. The image shows a horizontal strip of fabric with a repeating design. The fabric has a red background and a design of green and gold curved lines that form a continuous wave-like pattern. The curved lines are outlined in gold. The top and bottom edges of the fabric are frayed and have a row of small black stitches. The top edge has a row of small tan pieces that appear to be a type of trim or embellishment. The bottom edge is more frayed than the top edge. The left and right ends of the fabric are also frayed and uneven. The background of the image is a solid light gray color.
