Priest's Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular, dark-colored textile. The textile, titled "Priest's Robe" and created by an unnamed artist, appears to be made of a rough, woven material with a mix of dark and light colors, resembling a mottled or marbled effect; the surface is uneven with visible texture and some darker streaks. The item is laid flat on a surface with a white background. A small label is attached to the bottom-right corner.
