Fragments

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Four tattered, dark gray fabric pieces on a plain white background. The largest piece is left of center, with the others right of it. The smallest piece is at the bottom right, while the other two are above it. The fabric appears woven or knitted and is partially shredded and torn. Text at the bottom right reads "44.48.2 /163475" in black handwriting. A small, illegible number is printed at the bottom left. Fragments.
