Brocade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Brocade" and the artist is unidentified. Two long, narrow, horizontal strips of fabric with a gold-colored brocade pattern. The fabric has a woven texture with a subtle sheen. The two strips are placed one on top of the other, parallel to each other. The top and bottom edges of the fabric strips are rough and uneven. The background is off-white, with some darker marks and discoloration visible behind the fabric strips. A small piece of paper at the bottom center has the number "28" printed on it. A small box in the bottom-right corner contains the numbers "20.148.28".
