Priest's Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular, dark-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of various shapes and designs. The fabric, titled "Priest's Robe", is made by an unknown artist. The fabric is laid flat on a surface, with a creased and slightly shiny appearance. The pattern on the fabric consists of rows and columns of squares and circles, each containing intricate designs and motifs. The background of the image is a light-colored surface, possibly a table or wall, with a thin white border around the edges. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small portion of the background visible around the edges.
