Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a gold border. The fabric features a repeating pattern of floral designs in three different colors: brown at the top, tan in the middle, and blue at the bottom. The background of the fabric is cream-colored. The fabric appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly silk or satin. The three designs are separated by thin sections with no distinct pattern. A small orange writing is present in the bottom-left corner of the fabric.
