Priest's Robe and Stole

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a priest's robe and stole by artist. The image is a black and white photograph of two textile pieces. The top piece is large and rectangular, with a textured pattern of various sized circles and dots in shades of gray, white, and black. The bottom piece is smaller and rectangular, with a similar pattern to the top piece, but is much narrower. The background of the image is white, with a slightly textured surface. The two pieces are centered on the page, with the larger piece on top and the smaller piece below it. The image appears to be a catalog or inventory photo of the textile pieces.
