Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored rectangular piece with a repeating pattern of dark tan designs. The rectangular piece fills most of the image and has a thin dark border. The repeating design consists of alternating hexagonal shapes and curved shapes. The hexagons have a geometric design within. The curved shapes have a floral design and appear to be leaves or petals. The background around the tan rectangle is a slightly lighter tan color. In the bottom-left corner, red text is printed "95.14.1594".
