Priest's Stole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a long, narrow, rectangular piece of fabric. The fabric titled "Priest's Stole" and created by artist Anni Albers, hangs vertically, with a rough, uneven edge on the right side. The fabric is primarily silver and gray with a textured, woven pattern. The background is white on the right side and light grey on the left side, with a thin black line along the bottom edge. The fabric appears to be mounted on a flat surface.
