Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Piece" by artist Marjan Blej. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a tan background. The fabric features a repeating pattern of interconnected white lines that form a diamond shape. Interrupting the pattern are four horizontal stripes that run across the fabric. The stripes have a black base color and are adorned with thin, light-colored lines. The fabric is mounted on a tan-colored background. In the bottom-left corner, red text reads "96.14.1938". The overall appearance suggests a textile sample or a piece of woven fabric.
