Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green and gold patterned fabric. The fabric is rectangular and fills the image. The background of the fabric is a muted green color. The pattern on the fabric consists of a gold-colored design that appears to be a woven or printed motif. The design is composed of small, repeating shapes that resemble leaves or flowers. The shapes are arranged in a random, organic pattern across the fabric. A white border surrounds the fabric. A small line of illegible black writing and a series of numbers are in the bottom border.
