Arm Pillow (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Square-shaped arm pillow with a yellow fabric cover featuring an intricate pattern of blue, pink, and white designs. The pattern consists of circular motifs with floral elements and curved lines, repeated across the surface. The pillow has a flat top and edges, with a seam around the perimeter. The background is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom, with a subtle shadow cast by the pillow.
