The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a vibrant red ceremonial robe adorned with intricate designs. The robe features a large circular motif in the center, comprising a blue, red, white and gold floral pattern surrounded by a blue border. The lower edge of the robe showcases a wave design in shades of blue, white, and red. The robe's upper portion, visible at the top, is solid red with small blue and white designs. The robe appears to be made of fabric, with two small brass grommets visible on the left side. The overall design and colors suggest a traditional or cultural significance, specifically a woman's ceremonial robe by an unidentified artist.
