Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with embroidered design. The design features a repeating pattern of teapots and floral motifs in blue, pink, white, and green thread. The teapots are depicted in various orientations, with some facing upwards and others sideways. The floral motifs include leaves and flowers. The embroidery is intricate, with detailed stitching and shading that gives the design depth and texture. The fabric appears to be a piece of textile art, possibly a scarf or a decorative panel, by artist "Piece".
