Panel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The panel, by an unknown artist, shows a white fabric with 15 circular designs and 2 triangular designs printed in black. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be folded in half horizontally. The circular designs are arranged in four rows, with four circles in the top row, four in the second row, four in the third row, and three in the bottom row. Each circle has a unique pattern of lines, shapes, and floral motifs. The two triangular designs are located in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the fabric. The background of the fabric is white, and the overall design is symmetrical. The fabric has a wrinkled appearance.
