Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is square and has a grid-like design. The grid has 4 rows and 5 columns of circular flower-like shapes. Each circle has 8 scalloped edges. The center of each circle is dark with white and light gray shading to make it look 3D. There are 4 squares on the fabric between each circle. The squares are made up of rows of tiny circles. The background behind the fabric is white. The image is titled "Altar Cloth" by an unknown artist.
