Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue-green fabric with gold designs. The fabric fills most of the image, with a tan border around the edges. The fabric is patterned with a repeating design of a mythical creature. The creature has the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and a horn on its forehead. It sits within a circle, surrounded by a ring of flames. The circle and creature are gold. The fabric is mostly blue-green, with a lighter green swirling pattern. There is a horizontal crease across the center. The bottom edge of the fabric is partially cut off.
