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 features a repeating pattern of six identical circular designs arranged in two rows of three. Each circular design has a dark center with a lighter-colored border, resembling a floral or abstract motif. The background of the fabric is a diamond-shaped pattern. A small white label is visible in the top-left corner of the fabric. The fabric appears to be rectangular with rough edges.
