Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown fabric with dark brown swirling patterns. The fabric is rectangular and has a thick, light brown border around it. The swirling patterns are made up of curvy lines. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small portion of the border visible around the edges. The border is slightly darker on the left side. There is some red text on the left side of the border. The image appears to be a close-up view of a piece of fabric. Piece by artist.
