Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Narrow vertical blue textile with gold and white designs on a beige background. The blue textile has a rough, frayed edge on the right side and a straight edge on the left. The gold and white designs appear to be abstract shapes. The beige background appears to be a rough surface, possibly paper or fabric. The artist and title of the piece is unknown. The piece appears to be a fragment, as it is not a complete textile. The image is in a vertical orientation.
