Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by an unknown artist shows a square with a peach-colored background bordered by a gold-color line. The center of the square features a large circular floral design in a darker peach tone. The circular design consists of a central square with a white circle in the middle and four curved petals extending outward. Surrounding the central square are eight curved shapes resembling leaves or petals, arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The background of the square has a textured appearance with some wrinkles and creases visible. A small portion of another similar design is visible in the bottom-right corner. The overall color scheme is predominantly peach and gold with darker peach accents.
