Textile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The textile, by an unknown artist, is a long, narrow strip of fabric with a burnt orange background. The fabric features several floral designs in shades of brown, green, and gold. The flowers have blue stems and leaves. A small white sticker with the number "3419" is located at the bottom left corner of the fabric. The fabric is set against a gray-blue background. The edges of the fabric appear rough and frayed. There are some darker markings on the right side of the background, possibly writing.
