The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and gold patterned fabric. The fabric is rectangular with a ribbed texture. The background of the fabric is brown with thin, darker brown vertical and horizontal lines. The lines are spaced closely together. Scattered across the fabric are small, gold-colored dots and small gold-colored floral-like patterns. The fabric has a cream-colored border around it. The border is slightly thicker at the bottom, where some small numbers are printed.
