Rectangular textile fragment with frayed edges on all sides. The textile has a repeating pattern of various shapes in shades of brown, tan, and gray. The shapes include half circles, quarter circles, squares, and circles. Some shapes are solid-colored; others have patterns such as dots or lines. The background of the textile is a mottled gray-brown color. The shapes are arranged in rows; each row has a similar pattern but shifted slightly from the row above and below it. The overall design is geometric and abstract. The textile appears to be made of a woven material, possibly cotton or silk. The image is set against a plain gray background. The artist of the textile fragment is Anni Albers. The title of the textile fragment is "Textile Fragment".
