Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric titled Piece by an unknown artist. The fabric features a white background with a repeating pattern of red, brown, and green designs. The designs include various shapes such as diamonds, rectangles, and flowers. The shapes are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, with some overlapping or intersecting with each other. The fabric is surrounded by a gold border, and there is a small orange number in the bottom-left corner. The overall effect is one of intricate and detailed textile design.
