The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with blue background, white and brown oval shapes, and gold specks. The rectangular fabric is blue with a tan border. The blue fabric has a visible texture, like woven material. There are four white oval shapes with brown edges. The ovals are positioned in a staggered pattern. The ovals have a textured appearance. There are gold specks scattered across the blue fabric. The specks are small and irregularly shaped. The tan border around the blue fabric appears to be a separate piece of material. The border has a smooth texture. In the bottom-left corner of the border, there is orange text. The image depicts a piece by an artist.
