Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A black and white photograph of "Piece" shows a rectangular textile with a repeating pattern consisting of three distinct black designs: a grid of hexagons, stylized flowers and leaves, and diamond shapes with a cross-hatch pattern. The fabric has a light-colored background and is bordered by a plain narrow white margin and a white border at the bottom with numbers. Rips and tears are visible on the textile, particularly on the left side and upper corners.
