Piece from a Noh Costume (Nuihaku) with Egret (Sagi) and Willow Tree
Vertical rectangular piece of fabric with a design. The background of the fabric is beige with darker spots. A large gray bird with a blue beak and white wings is perched on a branch that extends from the top-left corner. The branch has small yellow-green leaves. Below the bird, there are wavy lines in shades of blue, brown, and white, swirling in a circular pattern. Scattered throughout the lower half of the fabric are small, abstract shapes in shades of brown, green, and yellow. The fabric appears to be a piece of a costume, likely for a traditional Japanese Noh theater performance. The design features an egret and a willow tree.
