Woven carpet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a black and white photograph of a woven carpet titled "Woven carpet". The carpet hangs from a metal rod, with a rod visible across the top. The carpet is rectangular and features a repeating pattern of octagons and circles. The octagons and circles contain floral designs and are arranged in rows across the carpet. The background of the carpet is dark gray, and the designs within the octagons and circles are lighter gray. The carpet appears to be made of a thick, woven material. The background behind the carpet is white, with a slight shadow visible underneath it.
