"Piece" by unknown artist depicts a square textile with frayed edges. The fabric features a repeating geometric pattern of hexagons and octagons in a gold and black color scheme; the gold is slightly faded. The shapes are interconnected, forming a grid-like design; some hexagons and octagons contain additional geometric shapes. The background of the fabric is white.
