From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
The sophisticated combination of elements in this colorful fragment include large split palmette leaves in ivory silk framing yellow interlacing knots in a leafy surround. Prominent floral buds are arranged with dynamic effect in staggered rows. Foral motifs became increasingly prominent on textiles during the 1400s, supplanting geometric patterns.
