Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a damask textile titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The rectangular image shows a close-up of a repeating design on fabric. The design consists of alternating elements. Vertical stripes of varying widths run the length of the image. Some stripes have scalloped edges. The others are smooth. Between the stripes are large circular panels and elongated curved floral motifs. The panels contain a bird-like figure. The background of the panels and floral motifs is dark. The stripes, panels, and floral motifs are light. The image has a light gray border around the edges. A white border surrounds the image. Text runs along the bottom-right corner.
