Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist not specified. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a floral pattern. The fabric has a black background with a repeating design of large beige flowers and leaves in shades of beige, brown, and green. The flowers have multiple petals and are arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The edges of the fabric are frayed and worn, with some areas of the black background visible through the fraying. The fabric has a thick beige border along the bottom edge. In the bottom-right corner, there is a small orange stamp with the numbers "96.14.188". The fabric appears to be on a flat surface, possibly a table or other flat surface. The surface beneath the fabric is beige with some darker spots.
