Piece, blue-resist textile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue-resist textile by Piece, rectangular piece of fabric with a light orange background and blue designs. The blue designs are of people in traditional Asian clothing, boats, flowers, birds, and a swan. The people are depicted in various poses, some standing, some sitting, and some kneeling. There are also several birds flying around the design. The overall effect is one of intricate and detailed patterns, with a focus on traditional Asian motifs, arranged in no discernible pattern.
