Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of textile titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The rectangular fabric features a light-colored background, possibly beige or off-white, with a darker pattern. The pattern consists of interlocking loops arranged diagonally, forming a grid-like design, with thick and thin lines. Dark floral motifs and leaves are scattered throughout the fabric, appearing to be a combination of embroidery and possibly a printed or woven design. The edges of the fabric are slightly frayed and worn.
