{"product_id":"untitled-textile-fragment-unknown-artist-2","title":"Untitled (Textile Fragment) - Unknown Artist","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of a medieval textile fragment featuring a circular embroidered medallion with geometric and floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textile fragment presents a circular medallion, a common motif in medieval decorative arts. The design features a central diamond shape, which is enclosed within a circular border. The embroidery work utilises a contrast between the dark thread and the lighter linen ground, creating a clear visual distinction between the geometric forms and the background fabric. The edges of the medallion are finished with a scalloped or petal-like border, adding a decorative element to the circular frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the diamond and the surrounding segments, the artisan has included small, stylised floral or geometric motifs. These elements are rendered with simple, linear stitches, reflecting the techniques employed by needleworkers during the medieval period. The composition is symmetrical, adhering to the formal requirements of textile ornamentation from this era. The linen ground shows the characteristic weave of a natural fibre, providing a textured surface that complements the precision of the needlework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch fragments provide insight into the domestic and ecclesiastical crafts of the Middle Ages. They demonstrate the skill required to execute precise geometric patterns on a small scale. The preservation of this piece allows for an examination of historical stitching methods and the aesthetic preferences of the time. The work is typical of Coptic or early Islamic textile traditions, where circular medallions were frequently used to decorate garments or hangings. The piece remains a study in the application of geometry to fabric, showing how artisans balanced negative space with decorative detail. The presence of the museum accession tag indicates its status as a documented historical object, preserved for its contribution to the study of material culture and the history of needlework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-geometric-animal-pattern-roelf-gerbrands\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Geometric Animal Pattern) - Roelf Gerbrands — Roelf Gerbrands\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-geometric-textile-design-sophie-taeuber-arp\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Geometric Textile Design) - Sophie Taeuber-Arp — Sophie Taeuber-Arp\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978579710287,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978613723471,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58978613756239,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978613789007,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978613821775,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978613854543,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978613887311,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978613920079,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978613952847,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58978613985615,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58978614018383,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58978614051151,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Untitled-Textile-Fragment-_Poster_CompositorV1_1790886116055.jpg?v=1790887214","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/untitled-textile-fragment-unknown-artist-2","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
