Turban

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Turban by an unknown artist. The image shows a cream-colored turban with a rounded shape, positioned on a white foam base. The turban features a fabric that appears to be silk or satin, with a crinkled texture. It is adorned with diagonal, crisscrossing stripes made of a twisted rope-like material, likely a type of yarn or thread. The stripes are cream-colored and match the turban's base color. The turban sits on a circular white foam base, which is visible at the bottom. The background is a plain beige color.
