Skirt Panel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a rectangular textile titled "Skirt Panel" by an unknown artist. The textile is divided into three main sections: top, middle, and bottom. The top section is a solid panel with visible fraying along the top edge and a dark stain. The middle section features 13 columns of patterned weaving, with each column consisting of a repeated design of squiggly lines. The bottom section consists of horizontal stripes, similar to the top section but without fraying. The background behind the textile is plain white.
