Carpet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The carpet by artist Faith Ringgold is rectangular and vertically oriented. The carpet features a white background. A thick border surrounds the carpet with a Greek key design in black and white. Inside the border, there are two identical mirror image designs stacked on top of each other. Each design consists of a central floral motif with curved leaves on either side, resembling an abstracted tree. The floral motifs and leaves are depicted in shades of black and white. The entire design is symmetrical. The image is in black and white. The carpet appears to be hanging on a wall.
