Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue and gold-colored artwork titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The work features a long, horizontal rectangle with a blue background and a gold border around the edges. The blue rectangle contains three gold circular medallions side by side, each depicting a lion-like creature. The medallions have a double border; a thicker inner circle and a thinner outer circle. The lions appear to be passant, walking towards the left. The image is stamped or printed in red at the bottom left with the date. The work is mounted on a beige-colored backing.
