Buddhist Surplice (Kesa)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark blue rectangular textile with a repeating pattern of circular and square motifs. The circular motifs are predominantly gold, cream, and brown with intricate designs, while the square motifs are primarily orange and gold. The circular motifs are arranged in wavy vertical lines, with six orange squares scattered across the fabric, arranged in three rows. The fabric appears to be composed of multiple pieces of material sewn together.
