Fragment
Black and white photograph of a rectangular fabric with a straight top edge and loose bottom edge. The fabric is light-colored with a visible woven texture. A repeating embroidered design is along the top, featuring a curved branch with leaves and flowers on either side of a central motif, which includes leaves and a bow-tied element. The design repeats 5 times across the fabric. A ruler is along the bottom left side, and a small white rectangle with black text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" is on the bottom right. Several lines of blurry text are below the ruler and the white rectangle. The background behind the fabric is solid black at the top and white at the bottom, with a thin white border around the fabric. The title is "Fragment" by an unknown artist.
