Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Blue fabric piece titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, featuring a floral design with a predominantly blue background. The fabric has a rough, torn edge on the left side and a more frayed edge at the top and bottom. The design includes a large orange flower with a white collar-like element around its center and tendrils extending outwards in shades of yellow, pink, and blue. Above the flower, a light green leafy design is visible. A smaller, light-colored object resembling a flower or fruit is partially visible in the bottom-right corner. The fabric appears to be made of a woven material, possibly silk or cotton, and has a slightly textured appearance.
