Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a dark green and gold patterned fabric. The fabric is rectangular with a tan border around it. The pattern on the fabric features a repeating design of gold shapes on a dark green background. The shapes are symmetrical and appear to be some sort of abstract floral motif. They are arranged in a grid-like pattern with four visible in the image, two on top and two on bottom. The overall effect is one of intricate and ornate design. The tan border is slightly thicker at the top and bottom than it is on the sides. There is small red text in the top-right corner.
