Sutra Cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sutra Cover by unknown artist shows a gray fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric has a light grey background with a darker grey woven pattern on it. The pattern features flowers with many petals and leaves. The flowers are connected by curvy stems and branches. The fabric has a border on the left side. The border consists of several parallel lines. The fabric fills most of the image, with a thin white background around it.
