{"product_id":"fragment-of-a-sleeve-fine-art-print","title":"Fragment of a Sleeve - Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA medieval linen textile fragment featuring ink-drawn zoomorphic motifs in a repeating decorative band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis textile fragment, identified as a portion of a sleeve, offers a glimpse into the material culture of the medieval period. The base material is a plain-weave linen, which has aged to a warm, neutral tone. The surface features a decorative band applied with ink and pigment, displaying a series of zoomorphic figures. These motifs, rendered in dark blue and reddish-brown hues, repeat in a rhythmic sequence across the horizontal border. The figures appear to be stylised animals, a common decorative choice in textiles from this era, reflecting the artistic conventions of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition of the piece reveals the passage of time, with frayed edges and significant loss to the lower section. The remaining fabric shows signs of wear, including creases and areas where the weave has thinned. Despite this degradation, the clarity of the printed or painted motifs remains visible. The lower portion of the fragment exhibits a secondary decorative element, featuring smaller, more fragmented patterns that suggest a complex design originally extended across the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch fragments are valuable for the study of historical dress and textile production techniques. They provide evidence of the methods used to apply pattern to fabric before the widespread adoption of mechanical printing. The composition is primarily ornamental, prioritising the repetition of motifs over realistic representation. This piece is a record of early decorative arts, showing how functional items like clothing were transformed through the application of symbolic and geometric imagery. The muted palette and the weathered texture of the linen contribute to its historical character, making it a subject of interest for those studying the intersection of utility and decoration in medieval society.\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=\"\/de\/products\/untitled-animal-and-bird-studies-fine-art-print\" 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 (Animal and Bird Studies) - Fine Art Print — Unidentified Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-shop-an-exterior-fine-art-print\" 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;\"\u003eThe Shop (An Exterior) - Fine Art Print — Solis Prints\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":58975937823055,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58976036094287,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58976036127055,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58976036159823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58976036192591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58976036225359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58976036258127,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58976036290895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58976036323663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58976036356431,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58976036389199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58976036421967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Fragment-of-a-Sleeve_Poster_CompositorV1_1790871040701.jpg?v=1790871932","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/fragment-of-a-sleeve-fine-art-print","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
