Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a tan background and a darker tan design. The fabric is rectangular and oriented horizontally. The background of the fabric is a light tan color. There are two symmetrical designs on the fabric that are dark tan. The designs are made up of curved lines and shapes. There are eight small white flowers with five petals around the designs. The fabric has a darker tan border around it. The border appears to be a separate piece of fabric. In the top-right corner of the image, there is red text. The text reads "9851-41-96". The image appears to be a close-up of a textile, likely created by artist "Piece".
