Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of woven fabric. The fabric is primarily a dark teal color with a grid-like pattern. The grid is made up of rows of horizontal and vertical stitches. The fabric has some gold, white and light brown threads woven into it. The gold and white threads are more concentrated in certain areas, creating a subtle pattern. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. A white strip runs along the bottom. The artist and title of the piece is unknown.
