The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored fabric with darker gold and black designs. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be frayed on the edges. A large design dominates the right half. The design features curved lines on top, possibly flames or waves, and rounded shapes below. Darker gold and black lines create the outline and details of the design. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains black text. The background behind the fabric is gray and textured.
