Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a square cloth titled "Altar Cloth" by an unknown artist. The cloth has a black background with a repeating white design. The design consists of four large, circular swirls arranged in a two-by-two grid. Each swirl contains a detailed, intricate pattern. The swirls are surrounded by various white floral and wavy patterns. The cloth appears to be divided into two panels that are sewn together down the middle. The image is likely a photograph of the cloth for archival or display purposes.
