Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Piece by Unknown Artist: The image shows a square-shaped blue and gold patterned fabric with a beige border. The fabric has a repeating design of curved lines and swirling patterns in gold thread on a blue background. There are also some red accents in the design. The beige border is slightly darker at the edges and lighter in the middle. The pattern on the fabric consists of four identical sections arranged in a grid, with each section featuring a large teardrop shape with its pointed end facing downwards. The teardrop shapes are outlined in gold and filled with swirling patterns. Each teardrop shape is flanked by two smaller curved lines that resemble leaves or flowers. The red accents appear to be small flowers or shapes.
