Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, features a predominantly blue and gold pattern. The pattern consists of hexagons outlined in gold, with some hexagons containing a solid blue center. A large circular design is positioned in the upper-left corner, showcasing a stylized bird or dragon-like creature with a beige body, red accents, and a long tail. The lower portion of the image displays a partial view of another circular design with green and white elements. The entire image is set against a beige background, which appears to be a border around the artwork. A small, illegible red stamp is located in the upper-right corner of the beige border.
