The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"One of a Set of Twelve Chair Strips" by Unknown Artist. The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a dark gray background. The fabric features several white designs. At the top, a white bird with outstretched wings and a long tail is flying. Below the bird, a scene depicts a building with a tiled roof and a balcony. On the balcony, two people are standing and one person is sitting. The building has a tree to its left and a railing around the balcony. A circular floral pattern is below the building. At the bottom, a white animal with curved horns and a long snout is walking to the left. The fabric also features several small white floral patterns scattered throughout. The fabric appears to be made of a thin material and has some creases. The image is in black and white.
