The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and gold patterned fabric with floral medallions and geometric shapes. The fabric is rectangular, with a tan border around it. The pattern on the fabric is made up of various shapes, including diamonds, circles, and flowers. The background of the fabric is dark brown, and the pattern is gold. There are several large floral medallions scattered throughout the fabric, each one surrounded by a circle of smaller flowers and leaves. The medallions are arranged in rows, with each row slightly offset from the one below it. The overall effect is one of intricate, ornate design. A thin horizontal line runs across the center of the fabric, possibly a tear or crease. Small red numbers in the bottom-left corner.
