Textile with Partial Pattern of Crane Roundel and Squares

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored textile with a pattern. The pattern includes a large dark green bird with outstretched wings in the lower left corner. The bird is mostly outside the frame. Above the bird are several rectangular white and brown shapes arranged in rows. Three short black lines are at the top. A white leaf-like design is in the bottom left corner. A repeating pattern of squares is on the right side. One of the squares contains a white circular design with a bird, possibly a crane.
