The pattern on the fabric features various colored shapes, including pink, blue, green, purple, and brown, arranged in rows. The shapes are outlined in brown and resemble boats or leaves with pointed ends. The shapes are surrounded by brown floral designs, including leaves and flowers. Small pink flowers are at the bottom of the fabric. The pattern is repeated throughout the fabric, with the shapes and designs arranged in a symmetrical and repeating pattern. The fabric appears to be a textile piece by artist Anni Albers. The title of the piece is "Piece".
