Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a piece by an unknown artist titled "Piece". A rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of black designs on a light background. The fabric has a curved top edge and a straight bottom edge. A small white label with the number "1077" is attached to the top center of the fabric. The pattern features various shapes, including teardrops, diamonds, and swirling lines. The fabric appears to be made of a textured material, possibly velvet or silk. The background of the image is white, with a slight shadow visible around the edges of the fabric. A small line of black text appears in the bottom-left corner.
