Description
This woven linen textile is decorated with silk-thread embroidery in several colours. The initial composition layout consists of dark red and navy blue florals along three sides of of the textile, with a "pinwheel" in the fourth. A second layer of embroideries seems to have been added, filling all of the empty spaces with additional florals and small medallions in an orange and slate blue colour palette.- {{cite web|title=Fragment|url=false|author=|year=1800s|access-date=24 December 2025|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
