The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark purple rectangular piece of fabric with a raised floral pattern. The fabric is a deep, rich purple color and features a repeating design of flowers and leaves in a lighter shade of purple. The background of the image is a light brown color, possibly cardboard. In the top-left corner, there is red text that reads "95.14.487". The fabric takes up most of the image, with a small border around it.
