Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a blue and gold patterned piece of fabric or textile, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular and has a gold border around it. The fabric's main body is dark blue with a repeating pattern of small diamonds and larger floral motifs in gold. The diamond pattern covers the entire surface, with the floral motifs appearing at the top and bottom. The gold border is textured and has a rough weave. In the bottom-right corner of the image, there is a small red stamp that reads "35.14.2073". The background of the image is not visible, as the fabric fills the entire frame.
