Narrow, long piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is predominantly green with a repeating design of yellow circles. Each circle has a four-pointed shape inside and is surrounded by a green border. The background of the image is light gray. Two thin threads protrude from the top edge. The bottom edge appears to be frayed. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
