Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven textile titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The textile is rectangular with a thin dark border around it. The design consists of repeating patterns of vertical stripes in shades of brown, beige, and light brown. The stripes are interspersed with rows of geometric shapes in dark brown and black. Some of the rows feature a leaf-like pattern in green and beige. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and dark brown dominating the design. The texture of the textile appears to be woven fabric. The background of the image is white, suggesting that the textile is presented against a neutral backdrop. The image is well-lit, with no harsh shadows or reflections visible.
