Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Light blue fabric with a repeating pattern of white, brown, and green cranes in flight. The cranes have outstretched wings, long necks, and small heads. They are surrounded by white swirling lines and shapes resembling clouds or smoke. The fabric has a tan border around it. Small dark spots are scattered across the fabric's surface. The pattern repeats in three columns and three rows. The cranes are oriented to the right. The fabric appears aged. "Piece" by unknown artist.
