Textile with Sacred Goose (Hamsa) Design

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, rectangular textile with a reddish-brown color. The textile has a border around the edges, with a lighter brown color. The border consists of two thin lines, one inside the other. The textile's surface features a repeating pattern of very small, dark red dots. The textile appears to be made of a rough, possibly woven material. The edges of the textile are rough and uneven, with some fraying visible. The background behind the textile is plain white. The title of the textile is "Textile with Sacred Goose (Hamsa) Design" and the artist is unknown. The textile likely features a design of a sacred goose, also known as Hamsa. However, the image does not show the Hamsa design clearly.
