Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and white textile with a repeating pattern. The pattern consists of a series of interconnected diamonds and shapes. A central diamond shape features trees, birds, and other designs. Two circular motifs are on either side of the central diamond. Four triangular sections are at the bottom, each containing trees and a wheel. A beige border surrounds the textile, with a small white label in the top-left corner and orange text in the top-right corner.
