Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of an altar cloth titled "Altar Cloth" by an unknown artist. The cloth is rectangular and appears to be made of a dark-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of light-colored circles. The circles are arranged in rows and columns across the cloth, and each circle contains a design that resembles a flower or other organic shape. The cloth is hanging on a wall, with a small piece of paper or cardboard attached to the bottom with handwritten text. The text reads "10.92.64 / 44033" on one line, and on the next line on the right edge is "44033/19.93.64". The background of the image is a plain white wall.
