Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by an unknown artist depicts a narrow, vertically oriented fabric with a pattern. The fabric is light brown with a darker brown floral design and blue dots. The floral design features a tree-like pattern with leaves and flowers, rendered in a simple and stylized manner. The fabric appears to be a piece of textile, possibly silk or another type of woven material. A small white label at the bottom displays numbers. The background of the image is a light-colored wood grain surface.
