Priest's Robe
Brown fabric with repeating gold pattern of plants and animals. The fabric features a dark brown background with a repeating pattern of gold lines and shapes. The pattern includes gold plants with leaves and stems. Interspersed among the plants are various animals, including birds, deer and other creatures in shades of gold, blue, and brown. There are also several gold squares scattered throughout the fabric. The fabric appears to be a traditional textile, possibly a priest's robe.
