Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a patterned design. The fabric is light green with a gold-colored floral and scrollwork pattern. It is shown in two parts; the larger top part is longer than it is tall, and the smaller bottom part is on the left. There are some white spots on the fabric. The background around the fabric is off-white with some handwritten numbers; one on the bottom right reads 20.148.115, and another near the bottom of the fabric reads 115. There is a thin gold line extending from the bottom right of the fabric to the number 115.
