Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is primarily dark green with a tan-colored design. The design consists of diamond shapes arranged in rows, with a floral pattern inside each diamond. The diamonds are outlined in tan. The floral pattern consists of a large flower with several leaves. The fabric has a thick tan border around it. The border appears to be a different texture than the fabric with the pattern. There is small red text in the bottom-left corner. The text is blurry and difficult to read.
