Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of square cloth titled "Altar Cloth" by unknown artist. The cloth is folded into four equal sections and laid flat on a surface. The cloth features a repeating pattern across its surface in two rows. The top row features six circles with spokes radiating from their centers, while the bottom row features eight circles with the same pattern. The cloth has a worn and aged appearance with visible wrinkles and creases. The surface beneath the cloth is light-colored and featureless. A small piece of white tape is on the bottom left.
