About this work

This broken piece of fabric shows a row of small, round animals—maybe birds or sheep—lined up in a row. Below them is a wavy line with a few red and green shapes that look like leaves or vines. The edges are frayed and uneven, like it was torn or cut from something bigger. The colors are faded but still show some red, green, and brown. The animals all face the same way, giving a simple, repeating pattern. It looks like a design meant for cloth, not a full painting.
