Priest's Stole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is rectangular, hanging vertically, and has a dark background with light-colored designs. The designs appear to be flowers and leaves. The pattern repeats along the length of the fabric in a grid-like formation. The fabric's edges are not frayed and appear to be hemmed. The top of the fabric appears to be hanging from two small objects that are not clearly visible. The background behind the fabric is plain and white. The fabric is titled "Priest's Stole" and is by an unnamed artist.
