Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of a rectangular fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric exhibits a floral pattern with a central circular motif surrounded by a multitude of smaller floral designs. The fabric appears worn and frayed along the edges. A vertical line runs down the center, and a horizontal line across the top, dividing the fabric into sections. Small floral patterns are densely packed throughout. The background of the image is white.
