Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric or textile with a tan background. The top half features a repeating pattern of diamond shapes, with each diamond comprising four curved lines that meet at the center. The diamonds are arranged in rows, with each row offset from the one below it. The bottom half has a floral pattern with leaves and flowers. The border around the fabric is a lighter shade of tan than the fabric itself. The image "Piece" is by artist Faith Ringgold.
