Piece from Coverlet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of diamond shapes and blue and white accents. The top portion features a dense arrangement of interconnected diamonds, each containing a smaller floral or geometric design in blue and white. A thick border at the bottom showcases a geometric pattern comprising squares and rectangles in blue and white hues. The fabric's edges appear frayed, particularly at the top. The piece is titled "Piece from Coverlet" and is a work by an unknown artist.
