Priest's Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a textile titled "Priest's Robe" by an unknown artist. The textile is rectangular and appears to be made of fabric with a repeating pattern. The main body of the textile is divided into 10 rectangular sections, arranged in two rows of five, with a lighter-colored pattern on a darker background. The sections are separated by thin lines. The border of the textile has the same pattern as the main body but with a more intricate design. There are four small dark squares, one in each corner of the textile. The photograph has a white border around it, with some numbers and letters printed along the bottom and right edge. The background of the image is white.
