Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a square piece of fabric with a blue and gold pattern. The fabric is primarily dark blue with a repeating pattern of small gold shapes. The gold shapes are circular and have eight petals. They are arranged in rows and columns across the fabric. The fabric is laid flat on a white surface, and the edges are slightly curved upwards. The fabric appears to be a piece of cloth, possibly silk or cotton, and has a smooth texture. The background of the image is white. The artist of the fabric is unidentified but titled "Altar Cloth".
