The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray background with black designs. The black designs are organized into a repeating pattern. Each design consists of a round shape made of curvy lines. Inside the round shape are more curvy lines and four protruding shapes with pointy ends. The protruding shapes are arranged symmetrically. Curvy lines extend from the round shapes and connect with neighboring round shapes. The background is mostly gray with some lighter and darker areas. A white border surrounds the image, with writing in the bottom-left and bottom-center.
