Purse

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a knit textile object resembling a scarf. It features intricate patterns on both ends - one end with rectangular shapes and the other with smaller, uniform patterns. The scarf is predominantly red with gray and black accents at the edges and fringes. Positioned centrally on a light beige background, the scarf's ends are splayed out to display the patterns. The middle of the scarf is twisted slightly, creating a sense of movement.
