The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a triangular section of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is dark blue with small, light-colored spots arranged in a grid. Each spot has a dark center and is surrounded by a light ring. The spots are arranged in rows and columns, forming a diamond-shaped pattern. The fabric fills the lower right corner of the image, with a white background visible in the upper left. The fabric's edge runs diagonally from the bottom left to the top right. The title of the work is "Textile with Spotted Dyeing (kanoko shibori)" and the artist is not described in the image.
