The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a frayed edge, primarily composed of shades of brown, green, beige, and pink hues. The fabric features a repeating pattern of interlocking diamonds, forming a grid-like design. Scattered throughout the fabric are various motifs, including aquatic birds with long necks and bodies, and a recumbent animal, likely a quadruped. The birds are depicted in shades of brown, pink, and blue. The fabric also features pink flowers or blossoms. The background of the image is a solid beige color, providing a neutral contrast to the intricate patterns and motifs on the fabric.
