Noren with Design of Oak-Leaf Crest, Plovers, and Waves

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark gray curtain with dark green trim along the top. The curtain is divided into six vertical sections. A large beige crest is centered at the top, consisting of a teardrop-shaped outline with a stylized three-leaf design inside. The bottom half features a wave pattern in beige, with stylized waves and dots. Scattered throughout are stylized plover birds in beige. The curtain hangs from a metal rod with six dark green ties, one at the top of each section. The background behind the curtain is light gray.
