Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Piece by Unknown Artist: A faded gold-colored fabric with a distressed texture, appearing worn and aged. The fabric features illustrations of people in various poses and outfits. There are 3 people in the top half and 4 people in the bottom half. The people illustrations are surrounded by oval-shaped objects, possibly representing moons. The fabric's edges are rough and frayed, with some blue threads visible. A small label with the numbers is at the bottom right corner. The background behind the fabric is plain and light-colored.
