Breadth of WovenTextile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is rectangular and light brown in color. It features a repeating pattern of circular and floral designs in a darker brown hue. The circular designs are positioned in the center and on either side of the image, with floral patterns in between and around them. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration and creases. A horizontal crease is visible across the bottom of the image. The overall appearance suggests that the fabric may be a piece of vintage or antique textile, possibly silk or another type of woven material. The title of the image is "Breadth of WovenTextile" and the artist is not specified.
