Apron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular textile with fringed edges on the bottom and right sides. The top section features a repeating pattern of diamond shapes in shades of red, orange, white, and green on a brown background. The diamonds are arranged in a grid-like formation, with each diamond containing smaller geometric patterns. The bottom section has a thick, woven border with a repeating pattern of interlocking lines in shades of red, orange, green, and white. Long, thin strips of red, green, and orange thread hang down from the bottom section, forming a fringe that is longest in the center and shorter on either side. The background behind the textile is solid white. This textile is an apron by artist not specified.
