Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a drawing of a village scene. The fabric is rectangular and has a light brown color. It appears to be made of cloth and has a rough, frayed edge around the perimeter. The drawing on the fabric depicts two rows of a village scene with people, trees, and buildings. The buildings are small with slanted roofs. The people are dressed in traditional clothing and are engaged in various activities. There are also several trees scattered throughout the scene. The drawing is done in black ink, with some red accents. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and wear. A loop of thread is at the top.
