Piece by artist Anni Albers: A square textile with a dark blue background and gold-colored designs. The gold designs form a geometric pattern of interconnected diamonds and zigzags. The diamonds are arranged in a grid-like formation and contain additional designs within them. The zigzags are oriented diagonally and intersect with the diamonds. The textile is mounted on a beige background. A red stamp is visible at the bottom left corner.
