Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a beige background and brown designs. The fabric titled "Piece" by the artist is off-white with a rough, frayed edge. A large circular design is on the left side, featuring a series of concentric circles and geometric shapes. The circle has a symmetrical pattern with eight pointed shapes extending from the center. The outer edge of the circle is surrounded by smaller diamond-shaped motifs. To the right of the circle are more diamond-shaped patterns and a partial view of another circular design. The background of the image is light gray.
