Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The background of the fabric is dark blue and beige. The pattern consists of symmetrical designs, alternating between star and flower shapes. The star shapes have eight points and are beige with a dark blue outline and a small yellow center. The flower shapes are beige with a dark blue outline. Small beige curvy lines and small beige flowers are scattered throughout the fabric. The fabric appears to be worn and frayed at the edges. The fabric seems to be titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
