Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a piece by an unidentified artist. The rectangular piece has a gold-colored border around it. Inside the border, the piece features a repeating pattern of black and white swirling designs. The background of the piece is a light beige color. The swirling designs are symmetrical and appear to be made up of curved lines and shapes. The designs are densely packed and cover the entire surface of the piece. In the bottom-left corner of the border, there is a small line of red text. The text is written vertically and appears to be a number.
