Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black fabric with dragons embroidered in shades of gold, orange, and white. Fabric is divided into two sections horizontally. A thin gold line separates the sections. The background behind the fabric is beige. The fabric depicts a repeating pattern of dragons with five claws. Each dragon has a flame-like protrusion on its head. The dragons have various poses and are interspersed with wavy lines and clouds. A small, illegible stamp is in the bottom-left corner. Red numbers are printed in the bottom-right corner. "Piece" by unknown artist.
