Length

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white patterned fabric titled "Length" by an unidentified artist. The fabric has a light gray background. The fabric features a repeating pattern of 12 circular designs arranged in four rows of three. Each circular design contains a smaller black circle with a white geometric pattern in the center. The circular designs have a swirling pattern and are surrounded by a decorative border. Between the circles are four-pointed shapes with a similar swirling pattern. The fabric fills most of the image, with a white border around it. In the bottom-right corner of the image, there is a small line of black text.
