Altar Cloth

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Altar Cloth by unknown artist. Black and white photograph of a square piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric has a floral design with flowers and leaves in a circular pattern. The pattern is made up of light and dark areas, creating a textured appearance. The fabric appears to be lace or a similar type of ornamental cloth. The fabric is laid flat with two creases running down the middle, one vertical and one horizontal. The background of the image is white. There is a small line of text in the bottom right corner.
