A square reversible damask textile panel divided into a grid of sixteen squares colored alternately tan and off-white. Each square of the grid contains a puddle-like section of ikat, a weaving technique where the interwoven silk threads have been tie-dyed prior to the creation of the panel. The ikat threads are colored in indigo, royal blue and grey-blue. The result is a pattern that contrasts the geometry of the grid with the blooming pools of ikat color, like splodges of ink, creating a spatial interplay between transparency and opacity.

$An off-white silk textile printed with an abstract, modern cityscape in black lines and rectangles. The vertically-oriented towers have a refracted appearance and feature distinctive diagonals reminiscent of floodlights glancing off the facades of the buildings. The repetitive shapes and patterns of the skyscraper buildings and its many windows, in black with reversals of positive and negative space, are boldly geometric. The textile is frayed along the right edge.$

Here we have a textile with elaborately ornate arching shapes resembling water falling from fountains. Repeated and highly detailed, these fountains are arranged like an alternating grid with red background and varying layers of cream threads, creating a spectrum of red and cream shades. These shades of color and elongated, organic shapes create the detail of the cascading water effect. In the repetition, there are roughly 15-16 fountains slightly overlapping each other, but in the same single overall style: an oblique, ovular shape surrounded by long tear-drops of water forms overflowing and overlapping in the middle, with vertical abstract water shapes and forms emerging from the top of the oval, eventually curving into two paths to the left and right in a symmetrical composition.

A day dress manufactured with a black velvet vest overlapping the dress of bold floral designs with a wide pleated skirt and wide sleeves with velvet trim. The black velvet vest has a circular neck where two narrow edges surround three circular openings beneath and on both sides with a seam showing on the front of the vest and a narrow velvet piece of trim attached to the connecting circles. Under the arms, the vest curves downward toward the waist ending with a bow placed on the waistline on both sides revealing printed fabric. The same velvet circular design functions as a border for both sleeves with rectangular trim that ends below the elbow. The skirt section flares out between the waist and knee on front and on both sides due to an inverted pleat. The skirt narrows at the hem creating a rounded effect. The printed fabric consists of large lavender and coral blossoms with red, orange, light coral, and violet accents. The flowers are positioned close together in an all-over composition on a black ground. A white mannequin with a void of detail wears the dress facing slightly to the right showing arms with hands behind and showing legs with feet cut off in the photograph against a white ground.

This glass bowl is near-spherical with a flat bottom for upright sitting, the opening the same size as the flat, footless base. These are both smaller than the full circumference of the center of the bowl. The sides are etched, a textured glass treatment that makes the glass look nearly white. The geometric decoration is a grid of alternating etched and clear rectangles with etched circles, each placed on its own loose grid, on the sides of the unetched rectangles.

Three round, thin necklaces and one round, thin bracelet by Jean Dunand, signed near the swirl/swerve opening on the innermost necklace at the top of the photo. The pieces are of matte red and black lacquer on oreum, a gold-colored alloy. It was made in 1927. The design is of rectangles and triangles and was Egyptian in style, which was very popular because Tutankhamen’s tomb was found five years prior.

This cloth has vertical lines of colors that blend and transition into each other both abruptly and slowly. The color striations are saturated lines of azure, white, magenta, yellow, cyan, and mauve but each transition into a lighter color on either side or one side, the gradients complementing the most saturated areas. For example: the darkest magenta transitions into a rose pink around it, and the most saturated yellow transitions into a light yellow. Toward the middle, the colors are more abrupt in transition and look more side-by-side in arrangement, but still very subtle transition around them. From left to right, they color order is: azure to light blue to white, a thin magenta line with light pink on either side, a light yellow to a saturated cornflower yellow, slight strip of green and then abruptly cyan. The cyan touches an abrupt strip of rose, an thin line of light blue, an abrupt strip of black or deep blue, and back to azure. The azure repeats the longer transition from blue to a white, magenta surrounded by light pink, light yellow to cornflower yellow, and lastly three abrupt strips of cyan, rose pink, and cyan on the right hand side. All together, this fabric was made on a block-printed on a silk weave.

Green-hued sectional design of close-up view of a pattern featuring geometric, diagonally crossed lines against a pale green background. The lines, using the gouache method of painting with opaque pigments ground in water and thickened with a gluelike substance, reveal from left to right, the ombre shading from light green to dark forest in color. In the center of the resulting diamond are a pair of overlapping leaves outlined in progressively darker shades of yellow-orange, punctuated with a thin brown stem in the center. The leaves appear clipped in a subtle arch along the bottom, and loosely resembles the shape of the shield carried by the mythological Diomedes. The larger diamond shape is emphasized by the mimicked overlapping lines. Though the forms on the far right and left sides are cropped, the repetition of the design beyond the borders of the composition is implied. Overall, the design is focused on a single X on the viewer's left and the leaves on the right. The drawing is placed on an antique white sheet, with the annotation [1988-62-618] barely visible on the bottom right corner.

Square drawing in gouache with an overall pattern design of what appear to be stylized, elongated guitars (shaped like stretched out figure-8’s) positioned at different angles. Most of the guitar bodies are cream with orange necks/fret boards and cream tuning pegs. A few have cream bodies and necks (no distinguishable fretboards) with orange tuning pegs. The background and the sound holes are chocolate brown. The ends of the guitar necks bend to their right. Some of the guitars are drawn in loose perspective with a part of one side or a bottom visible. The sides are rendered with simple orange accents which against the cream suggests some kind of shadow. There is a sense of musicality to the layout - the relative brightness (cream color) of the flat sinuous guitar shapes facing different directions comprise the main motif and keep the viewer moving throughout the pattern; the contrasting linearity of the necks and the orange accents create a sense of dynamism, and the sets of tiny tuning pegs (3 on each side of the neck) interspersed throughout the pattern are like delicate trills. The instruments seem cartoonish, with not realistic guitar proportions, however their various sizes, shapes, and positions serve to pleasantly fill the space.
