Robe for Buddhist Priest
Black and white photograph of a rectangular piece of fabric, possibly silk. Fabric is composed of many small square and rectangular patches sewn together. Each patch features a different design, including flowers, birds, animals, and people. There are two wide borders at top and bottom, and a vertical strip down center. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow cast by the fabric. The fabric appears to be a robe for a Buddhist priest.
