Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unspecified artist, depicts a black and white image of an elongated rectangular object. The object features a repeating pattern of hexagons with rounded edges and a central circle inside each. The hexagons are arranged in rows and columns with no discernible background. Two rounded protrusions are on the surface, one on the lower left and one on the lower right, both with wavy edges. The image appears grainy.
