Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray fabric with a gold pattern. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be made of a woven material, possibly silk or another type of textile. The gray background has a subtle grid-like texture. The gold pattern features a design with curved lines and shapes. The gold design elements are on the right and left sides of the fabric. The fabric has rough edges, suggesting it may have been cut or torn from a larger piece. A small white label with black text reading "96.14.1210" is on the left side of the fabric. The background of the image is light grey. The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist unknown.
