"Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a square textile with a gold border. The textile features a repeating floral pattern with large flowers and leaves in shades of blue, purple, white, and green on a light blue background. The flowers have multiple petals and are arranged with some pointing upwards and others downwards. The leaves are various shades of green and brown. The gold border is slightly darker at the corners and has a textured appearance. In the bottom-left corner, red text reads "96.14.915". The image is framed with a white background.
