Priest's Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a fabric titled "Priest's Robe" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a repeating pattern of white designs on a dark background. The designs appear to be a combination of floral and leaf-like motifs. The fabric is divided into sections by thin lines, giving it a grid-like appearance. A small white label is attached to the bottom-right corner of the fabric. The photograph has a white border around it, with a small piece of paper attached to the bottom-left corner. The background of the image is white.
