The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue fabric with a gold floral pattern. The fabric is rectangular and has a gold border around the edge. The background of the fabric is blue. The floral pattern is made up of various flowers, leaves, and stems, all in a gold color. The flowers are different sizes and shapes, some are large and showy, while others are smaller and more delicate. The leaves are also varied, with some being large and pointed, while others are smaller and more rounded. The stems are thin and curved, connecting the different flowers and leaves. The overall effect is one of intricate and detailed design, with the gold pattern standing out against the blue background. Title: Piece. Artist: William Morris.
