The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow strip of fabric with a greenish hue. The fabric has a woven texture, and its color is primarily green with flecks of lighter green and brown throughout. The fabric strip is oriented horizontally and appears to be fairly uniform in width. A thin white border surrounds the fabric strip on the top and bottom. Handwritten text in pencil reading "643" is centered in the lower white border. A small white rectangle in the upper right corner of the white border contains the text "20.148.643". The background behind the white border is white.
