Waistcoat panel

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cream-colored fabric panel with a green border on the edges, featuring a repeating pattern of small, curved lines and flowers in shades of red, orange, and green. The panel has a distinctive shape, with a straight top edge and a bottom edge that curves outward in a stepped design. The bottom edge features three sections with a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves. The right side has 8 circular holes along the bottom edge. The fabric appears to be a waistcoat panel by an unknown artist.
