Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown and beige fabric with a repeating pattern of variously shaped illustrations. The shapes include rectangles, diamonds and ovals. The illustrations are of people in various poses, some sitting behind bars, others outside with their arms raised or holding objects. The fabric has a beige border around the edge. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown. The fabric appears old and worn with some areas faded or damaged.
