Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, depicts a square with a blue background and a repeating pattern of white, octagonal shapes outlined with white lines. The octagons are arranged in a grid, with four rows and four columns, with small white dots along the outline of each shape. Inside each octagon, there are various colored designs in shades of orange, green, and white. The square is surrounded by a yellow border, with a small line of orange text in the bottom-left corner. The overall design appears to be a decorative tile or fabric pattern.
