Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of an altar cloth. The cloth is rectangular and folded down the middle. The cloth has a design with four identical sections, one in each corner. Each section has a circle with a four-leaf clover design inside. The circles are surrounded by curled lines and shapes. The background of the design is filled with intricate patterns and swirls. The cloth appears to be made of a textured material, possibly fabric or metal. The background behind the cloth is plain white.
