Fichu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing. The top portion of the image features an upside-down U-shaped piece with a textured surface; it has a fringed edge. The bottom portion shows a rectangular design, roughly 3/4 of the image width with floral patterns made up of flowers and leaves arranged in a repeating design along the length. The background of the image is white. The image seems to represent a textile design called "Fichu" by an unknown artist.
