Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern, by artist unknown, titled "Piece". The fabric is beige and has a textured weave. The pattern on the fabric consists of interconnected shapes, possibly leaves or flowers, arranged in a repeating sequence. The fabric is set against a slightly darker beige background. In the bottom-right corner of the image, there is small red text. A small, circular, dark spot is visible in the bottom-left corner of the image. The overall appearance of the fabric suggests it may be a sample of lace or another type of decorative textile.
