Panel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Panel" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a repeating pattern of small, white circular designs on a dark background. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging such as discoloration, creases, and frayed edges. A central seam runs vertically down the middle of the fabric, and there are additional seams to the right. The fabric is laid flat on a white surface, with a small portion of the right edge folded back.
