Cloth of Gold and Associated Border Fragments

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown fabric pieces on a beige background. A large piece of brown fabric with a rough edge and several holes is in the center. Above the large piece, a smaller piece of fabric with a patterned edge is in the top left corner. The patterned edge has a gold color and a repeating design. Two small pieces of fabric are to the left and above the large piece. The large piece appears to be made of a woven material, possibly silk or wool. The fabric pieces appear to be old and worn.
