Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a rectangular textile with a gold border. The textile features a repeating pattern of eight-pointed stars and flowers in various colors, including blue, red, white, and green, on a beige background. The stars and flowers are interconnected by yellow lines that form a grid-like pattern. Small, scattered flowers and dots are visible throughout the design. The gold border surrounds the entire textile, and a small orange text is visible in the bottom-right corner.
