Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Narrow, long piece of fabric with a floral pattern in shades of gold, cream, and black on a gray background. The fabric has a lace-like texture and appears to be frayed at the edges. A smaller piece of similar fabric is partially visible in the bottom right corner. The piece, by an unknown artist, displays a repeating design of flowers and leaves in a gold and cream color on a black and gray background.
