The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular piece with blue and gold designs. The brown rectangle has a diamond pattern outlined in blue. Inside each diamond is a blue and gold swastika-like design. The diamond shapes are arranged in four rows of four. At the center of each diamond, where the blue lines intersect, is a blue and gold floral design. The background around the brown rectangle is gold. The gold background appears textured. The rectangle takes up most of the image. The object is titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
