National Gallery of Art

The image shows a textile with a patchwork of square and rectangular panels, each containing intricate designs such as flowers, animals, and human figures. The color palette includes earthy tones such as browns, greens, and reds, complemented by accents of pink, blue, and white. The objects are organized in a grid pattern across the fabric, with floral designs and decorative motifs displayed across the rows and columns. Human figures are positioned centrally in one of the squares, surrounded by floral elements, while other squares depict animals and ornate vases interlaced with plant motifs.
