Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small square piece of fabric with a blue background and gold-colored designs. The fabric is dark blue with a woven texture. The gold-colored designs are made up of various wavy lines and shapes, including what appears to be a flower or tree in the top-right corner and a rounded shape with a patterned interior in the bottom-left corner. The fabric is set against a beige background, possibly a piece of cardboard or paper. There is a white label at the bottom of the fabric with the numbers "96.14.981" printed on it in black text. On the right edge of the beige background, there is some red text that is oriented vertically and is not legible. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
