Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Narrow, vertical rectangle with a blue and gold pattern. The pattern has diagonal blue stripes in the background. Gold lines are drawn on top of the blue stripes. The gold lines form wave-like shapes. A thin gold line borders the left and right edges of the rectangle. The gold line on the right edge appears thicker than on the left edge. A thicker, textured gold border surrounds the rectangle on all sides. The border appears to be made of a different material.
