Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular and oriented vertically. The fabric has a repeating pattern of small, intricate designs that resemble flowers or leaves. The pattern is made up of curved lines and shapes in a lighter shade than the background. The fabric appears to be a dark color, possibly black or dark brown, with the lighter-colored pattern on top. The edges of the fabric are frayed and uneven. A small strip of the same fabric with the same pattern is shown on the right side. The background of the image is white, with a gray border around the fabric. There is a small line of text at the bottom.
