Panel, blue-resist textile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular panel of blue-resist textile. The panel has a white background. The entire panel is filled with a repeating design in blue. The design consists of curving lines and shapes, including leaves and flowers and birds. The blue areas are darker on the edges and lighter in the middle. The panel is surrounded by a white border. The panel appears to be made of fabric, possibly cotton or another natural fiber. The panel appears to have a few wrinkles. The border has faint pencil markings on it.
