Fragments

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two long, narrow pieces of fabric, likely silk, with a yellow-brown background and a dense floral pattern in red, pink, blue, and green. The fabric appears worn and frayed at the edges, with visible signs of aging. The two pieces are placed side by side on a plain background, possibly gray. The floral pattern consists of various flowers and leaves. The title of the work is "Fragments" by an unknown artist.
