Brocade

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored fabric with a ribbed texture and a repeating pattern of floral motifs. The fabric appears to be a shiny brocade. It has a rectangular shape with a smooth edge on the top and bottom. The floral pattern consists of raised gold designs on a gold background. The fabric is mounted on a beige background. A handwritten "76" is in the center and a typed "20.148.76" is in the bottom right corner.
