Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece by an unknown artist. The artwork features a vertical rectangle with a light brown background. The main body of the artwork consists of a repeating pattern of dark brown and light brown hexagons and rectangles. The hexagons are arranged in a column down the center, with their points facing up and down. Each hexagon contains a square divided into four smaller squares and a circle with shapes in the center. These shapes include flowers, birds, axes, and other objects. The rectangles are on either side of the hexagons, featuring a repeating pattern of interlocking swirls. The rectangles also contain smaller squares with various designs, similar to the hexagons. The overall design is symmetrical, with identical patterns on either side of the central column of hexagons. The artwork appears to be a textile or wallpaper design. The color scheme is primarily dark brown, light brown, and beige.
