Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The square-shaped artwork, titled "Piece" by unknown artist, shows a black and tan-colored textile with intricate patterns and designs. The dominant colors are black and tan; a large circular floral-like design in tan is centered on a black background. Surrounding the circle are symmetrical diamond-shaped patterns with floral motifs in tan on a black background. The artwork has a tan border around it. The border is slightly darker at the corners. A small number in red text appears in the bottom-right corner.
