Mantle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Mantle by artist not specified. The mantle has a long fringe along the bottom edge. The main body of the mantle is beige with a small, dark-brown dot pattern. The mantle features a design of 11 brown stripes radiating from the bottom-right corner, each with a pattern of red, green, and brown. The mantle has a border with a brown background and a repeating pattern of white circles outlined in brown, with red and green diamond and triangular shapes. The top section of the mantle has a beige background with a small, dark-brown dot pattern, framed by a border similar to the one on the sides and bottom, but wider on the top. The overall design and color scheme suggest an Asian influence. The mantle hangs on a plain white wall.
