Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is blue with a gold-colored pattern. The pattern consists of 18 identical, symmetrical, flower-like motifs in a repeating horizontal row. Each motif has a four-petal flower shape in the center and four curved protrusions, one on each side. The fabric has a gold border around it, which appears to be slightly frayed at the edges. The background behind the fabric is beige. In the bottom-left corner, there is a line of small red text. The artwork is titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
