Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image shows a square piece of fabric with a lattice pattern. The fabric has a black background with a white lattice design. The lattice is made up of interlocking diamonds with floral motifs at the intersections. The fabric has frayed edges, particularly on the left and right sides. The fabric is on a gray background. Handwritten numbers are at the top and bottom of the image. A small white label with typed text is in the bottom-right corner. The image appears to be an archival photograph. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
