Colcha

Majel G. Claflin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a symmetrical design of wavy lines and scalloped shapes forming an abstract pattern. In the center, there is a pink flower-like shape with extending brown, blue, and pink wavy lines. The color combination and shapes create an abstract representation that can be seen as a floral motif or stylized butterfly. The use of curved lines and organic forms suggests connections to natural elements, contributing to the design's whimsical appearance.
