Chair Strip with Elephant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, vertical piece of fabric with three distinct sections. The top section features a large, ornate elephant with a crown on its head and a decorative design on its body. The elephant is surrounded by small flowers and other designs. Above the elephant is a smaller, symmetrical design. The middle section contains a rectangular design with curved handles on either side and floral patterns within. The bottom section depicts an animal, possibly a dragon or a mythical creature, in a landscape with waves and flowers. Small birds are scattered throughout the fabric. The background of the fabric is light-colored, possibly white or light gray. The overall design on the fabric is intricate and ornate, suggesting it may be a piece of traditional or cultural textile art, by artist "Chair Strip with Elephant".
