The image is a black-and-white photograph. A rectangular piece of fabric features a repeating pattern of white flowers on curved stems against a dark background. The stems are interwoven, forming a wavy line design. White flowers have five petals. Darker floral designs are between the white flowers. A thin white border surrounds the fabric. The title "Piece" and no artist are present.
