Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unidentified artist, depicts a rectangular dark green fabric with a leaf pattern on a tan background. The fabric features a repeating design of various sized leaves in a darker shade of green. The leaves are irregularly shaped with pointed tips and serrated edges. The fabric is bordered by a tan background that appears to be made of a different material, possibly paper or cardboard. A red stamp or writing, appearing upside down, is on the right edge of the tan background.
