Elbow Pillow

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of a plump, intricately patterned pillow by Elbow Pillow, featuring a rounded rectangular shape with visible seams and a central octagonal panel surrounded by ornate floral designs. The pillow's fabric displays a mixture of light and dark hues, with a lighter tone in the center. The background is a plain surface with a subtle shadow cast by the pillow, and a plain gray gradient wall behind it.
