Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The rectangular cloth, titled "Altar Cloth" by an unknown artist, features a pattern of dark and light gray diamonds arranged in a zigzag design. The diamonds alternate in shade and are interspersed with circular floral motifs. The circles have a textured appearance with radiating lines. The cloth appears to be made of fabric, possibly silk or another smooth material, and has a slightly wrinkled appearance. The background behind the cloth is white.
