Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark green rectangular fabric with embroidered pattern, mounted on light-colored cardboard. The fabric features a repeating design of interlocking diamonds and stylized floral motifs in a darker green thread. The diamonds are outlined with a simple stitch, and the floral patterns appear to be abstract and curved. A small, illegible red stamp or handwritten text is visible at the top right corner of the cardboard. The cardboard has a smooth, matte finish and a subtle texture, with a slight shadow around the edges of the fabric.
