Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric or textile with a repeating pattern. The pattern consists of blue and gold swirls. The swirls are made up of small dots that form a spiral shape. The background of the fabric is blue with gold dots. There are four complete swirls visible on the fabric. A strip of paper with black Chinese characters is attached to the right side of the fabric. The paper is off-white and appears to be aged. The fabric is on a white background. Some text is written sideways on the left side. A number is printed at the bottom.
