Priest's Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Priest's Robe" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a repeating pattern of small, intricate designs arranged in rows and columns. The designs are circular with a flower-like appearance and are surrounded by square shapes. The fabric's background is light-colored, possibly beige or off-white. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small border around it. There are two small labels on the bottom border, one on the left and one on the right. The label on the right reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" and some illegible text, followed by the numbers "88.504/32.65.12". The overall appearance suggests a museum-quality textile.
