Patchwork of Woven Textiles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Patchwork of Woven Textiles by an unknown artist. The image shows a square patchwork textile with a light blue border. The border appears slightly wrinkled and stained. The central part of the textile is composed of 25 squares arranged in five rows and five columns. The squares are made of various fabrics with different colors and patterns, including solid colors, florals, and paisley designs. The colors of the squares include red, blue, yellow, orange, green, white, and brown. Some of the squares have a shiny or metallic appearance, suggesting they may be made of silk or another smooth fabric. The background behind the textile is plain white.
