Apron

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays a piece of fabric titled "Apron" by an unknown artist. The fabric is off-white and rectangular with a curved top edge. The fabric has a red and gold patterned border around the edges. The border is wider at the top and bottom than on the sides. The border features a repeating design of leaves and flowers in gold on a red background. The right side has long, thin red tassels hanging from the edge. The left side has a small tab or strap. The fabric appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly cotton or linen. The fabric is laid flat on a black background. The fabric appears wrinkled and creased.
