The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric is beige with a dark gray border. The floral pattern consists of various circular shapes, some filled with red, green, yellow, and brown. The circles are of varying sizes and are scattered across the fabric. Some of the circles have a floral design in the center, while others have a more abstract pattern. There are also some smaller, irregular shapes throughout the fabric that appear to be leaves or vines. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with some areas showing signs of fading or discoloration. Piece by Unknown.
