Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a rug. The rug is rectangular and vertically oriented. It has a thin border around the edge. The rug's design features various shapes, including diamonds, hexagons, circles, and flowers. The shapes are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, with some overlapping or intersecting with others. The design is symmetrical, with a large circular motif near the center of the rug. The background of the rug appears to be a light color, possibly beige or cream, with darker designs and patterns overlaid on top. The image background is white. The rug appears to be titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
