National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a woven textile featuring a multicolored checkered pattern. The textile displays a combination of squares and rectangles in a palette of red, blue, and yellow. The weaving technique results in interlacing of different colored threads creating a texture and pattern. The edges of the textile are adorned with fringes. The craftsmanship in the weave demonstrates attention to detail and artistic design.
