Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Piece by Unknown Artist: The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric. The fabric is tan with a floral pattern in shades of brown, green, blue and red. The fabric appears to be made of silk or another smooth material. There is a crease down the middle of the fabric. The fabric is bordered by a thin gray line on the left and right sides. On the right edge of the image, a sliver of another image is visible, showing green, white, and yellow. The overall appearance of the fabric suggests it may be an antique or vintage textile.
