Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue fabric with gold and blue embroidery. The fabric is rectangular and oriented vertically. The blue fabric has a light blue-gray color with a visible weave pattern. The embroidery is gold and blue and features a repeating design of flowers, leaves, and birds. The gold thread is shiny and appears to be metallic. There are also some brown spots on the fabric, possibly due to aging or damage. The fabric is surrounded by a beige border around all sides. There is small orange text in the bottom-left corner of the beige border. The image appears to be a textile artwork titled "Piece".
