Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is predominantly teal blue with a gold floral pattern. The gold pattern consists of various shapes, including diamonds, circles, and teardrops, arranged in a repeating design. The fabric has a small tear in the center and appears to be mounted on a beige background. The beige background is visible around the edges of the fabric, forming a border. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small margin of the beige background around it. The overall appearance suggests an antique or vintage textile.
