The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangle with rounded corners, blue and gold color, featuring a repeating pattern of hexagons. The hexagons are outlined in gold and contain various gold geometric patterns. Some hexagons feature more intricate designs, including what appears to be a tree or plant. The rectangle has a beige border around it, with a small red stamp in the bottom-left corner. The stamp appears to read "96 14 1096". There is a small smudge or stain on the border to the right of the stamp.
