The artwork, by the artist titled "Tile", is a black and white photograph of a curved square or rectangular object. The object is made of a dark material, possibly metal or ceramic, with a shiny surface that reflects light. The surface appears to be damaged, with scratches, dents, and a rough texture. The object is positioned upright, with a slight curve to its shape. A ruler or measuring tape is placed in front of the object, to the left, for scale. A small white sign with black text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" is positioned to the right of the ruler. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
