Priest's Robe (Shichijō)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a rectangular, grayscale textile with a repeating pattern of small, multi-petaled flowers or hexagons in a range of shades. The pattern includes white, light gray, and dark gray elements. A leaf-like design with rounded lobes or a butterfly-like motif is positioned in the upper-left area. The fabric appears wrinkled and possibly worn, with visible creases. A thin, light-colored border surrounds the textile. The image includes a white strip at the bottom with numbers on the right. The description matches "Priest's Robe (Shichijō)" by an unknown artist.
