Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue and gold fabric with a repeating pattern, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a blue background with a gold floral design. The design consists of large, symmetrical floral motifs with curved lines and shapes. The motifs are separated by curved lines and smaller floral patterns. The fabric has a rectangular shape with a gold border around it. The border is textured and has a subtle pattern. In the bottom-left corner, there is a small orange stamp with the numbers "95.14.862". The fabric appears to be a piece of textile, possibly a sample or a fragment of a larger work. The overall color scheme is blue and gold. The fabric fills most of the image, with a white background visible on the right side.
