Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue fabric with a repeating pattern of white flowers. The fabric is rectangular and oriented horizontally. The blue background is slightly faded and has a rough texture. The white flowers have four rounded petals and a cluster of stamens in the center. The flowers are arranged in rows, with each row offset from the one above and below it. The fabric has frayed edges, with the left edge appearing more worn than the others. A thin gold line runs along the bottom edge. The background behind the fabric is white.
