Roundel with Amazons and a Cross
The Print and Pattern Archive gathers textile and dress objects noted for prints and patterns from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Cleveland Museum of Art collections, both CC0, refreshed monthly. Records carry garment family, era, season and significance labels from our pipeline, and every entry links its museum page; objects are cataloged, never appraised.
