Textile with Peonies and Lattice

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a textile titled "Textile with Peonies and Lattice" by an unknown artist. The textile is rectangular with a visible corner cut off on the right side. The background of the textile is primarily light gray with a repeating pattern. The pattern consists of interlocking black lines forming a lattice design. The lattice design creates square and rectangular shapes throughout. Inside and around the lattice are various colored floral patterns and motifs. The floral patterns include peonies in shades of red, pink, blue, and yellow. Green leaves and stems are also present throughout the design. The outer edge of the textile appears to be frayed. The image has a black background behind the textile. A small white text is visible at the bottom. The overall appearance suggests an antique or traditional piece.
