Shawl

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Shawl by Unknown Artist. A rectangular textile with a patterned design hangs on a wall. The textile background is tan. Small, evenly spaced diamond-shaped patterns are in rows across the textile. The diamonds have a green and dark red color. A border runs along the edges, with a dark red stripe, a tan and white stitched zigzag pattern, and a thin green stripe. The bottom edge has long dark brown tassels. The top edge appears to be hanging from a thin rod. The wall in the background is off-white.
