Suspenders

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two long, narrow, off-white fabric strips with frayed edges, overlapping slightly. The strips feature colorful embroidered designs. Each strip has a sequence of 7 embroidered motifs: variously posed human figures in pink, blue, and orange clothing; green wreaths; and a bow and quiver of arrows. A white tag on the lower right end of the lower strip. The background is plain light gray. The title is "Suspenders" by an unknown artist.
