The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, dark green fabric strip with gold thread embroidery. The fabric appears to be made of a woven material and features an intricate pattern of gold thread designs on a dark green background. The gold thread is densely woven, creating a complex and detailed design. There are no discernible shapes or figures in the design; it appears to be a repeating pattern. A small white border surrounds the fabric strip.
