"Fragment" is a small, fragmented piece of woven fabric, dating back to the Fatimid period (969-1171). The fabric, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a intricate and faded pattern of repeating motifs. The fragment's delicate weave and intricate design speak to the craftsmanship of the time, hinting at a larger textile likely used for a decorative purpose.
