Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a dark green background and a gold pattern. The fabric is oriented horizontally. The top edge of the fabric appears to be straight and has a thin clear tape across it. The left and right edges of the fabric are rough and uneven. The gold pattern on the fabric consists of a repeating design of interconnected shapes, possibly flowers or stars, arranged in rows. The background of the image is light gray. Under the fabric on the bottom right, there is a small white label with black text.
