Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by an unknown artist depicts a long, rectangular yellow fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is vertical and oriented with the longer edges on the left and right sides. The background of the fabric is a light yellow color. The floral pattern includes green, gray, brown, and pinkish-colored flowers and leaves. The flowers and leaves are intricately designed with curved lines and swirling shapes. The fabric appears to be made of a textured material, possibly silk or another type of fabric. The edges of the fabric are straight and smooth. The image has a white border surrounding the fabric on all sides. A small number is printed in the bottom-right corner of the white border.
