Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of raised designs. The fabric is beige and rectangular, oriented horizontally. It has a rough texture and appears to be made of a thick material. The pattern on the fabric consists of eight identical raised designs, arranged in two rows of four. Each design is symmetrical and has a flower-like shape with curved leaves. The designs are evenly spaced and run across the width of the fabric. The background behind the fabric is white. A small line of blurry writing is underneath. Two numbers are on the bottom right.
