Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark brown textile with gold thread woven through it. The dark brown material appears to have a rough texture. Gold thread is woven through most of the textile in horizontal lines. A portion on the right side has the dark brown material woven to form a pattern. The pattern appears to be a large "M" and a long thin rectangle. The edges are rough and uneven. The image is rectangular.
