Textile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The textile, by an unknown artist, depicts a floral design on a fabric swatch. The fabric swatch features a rectangular shape with a predominantly dark brown color scheme. A white and red floral pattern is woven into the top portion of the swatch. The floral design includes a large red flower accompanied by smaller black and red flowers, along with green leaves. A horizontal band of dark brown with a thin white stripe runs across the middle of the swatch. A white rectangle on the bottom-right corner displays the number "3360" in black text. The swatch is placed on a gray-blue background.
