Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, features a rectangular piece of fabric or woven material. The fabric has a tan border around it. The woven material is primarily dark blue with a pattern of interwoven tan threads, creating a grid-like design. The tan threads form vertical lines that are uneven in width and spacing, giving the piece a somewhat organic and textured appearance. The fabric appears to be slightly worn and faded in some areas, with small spots of discoloration visible. The background behind the fabric is not visible, as the tan border takes up the entire periphery of the image.
