Priest's Stole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, black and white piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric, titled "Priest's Stole", made by an unknown artist, is divided into sections by thin lines, with each section containing a symmetrical design. The designs are made up of various shapes, including circles, flowers, and leaves. The background of the fabric is a light color, and the designs are darker. The fabric appears to be made of a textured material, possibly silk or velvet. The overall effect is one of intricate detail and ornate decoration. The fabric is rectangular in shape, with a straight edge on the left side and a slightly uneven edge on the right side. The image is in black and white, with no visible colors. The fabric takes up most of the image, with a plain white background visible on either side.
