Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular fabric with a thin tan border around the edges. The fabric has a white background with a repeating pattern of large and small flowers in shades of green, orange, and tan. The flowers have rounded petals and are scattered across the fabric. There are also some green geometric shapes, possibly chevrons or zigzags, at irregular intervals. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with some discoloration and texture visible. The artist is unknown but titled "Piece".
