Sutra Cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a rectangular sutra cover with a dark background and white leaf patterns. The cover is oriented vertically. The dark background has a texture that resembles vertical lines. There are four horizontal bands of white leaf patterns, one near the top, one near the bottom, and two in the middle, evenly spaced apart. The leaf patterns are composed of small, irregularly shaped white elements that resemble leaves. The cover appears to be made of a thin, possibly fabric material. The edges of the cover are rough and uneven. The image is in black and white. The title is "Sutra Cover". The artist is unknown.
