Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by artist Faith Ringgold: Black fabric with frayed edges at the top spanning the width. The fabric is divided into three sections that are light gray on the left, black in the center, and light gray on the right. A curving line in the middle separates the sections. On the left light gray section, fuchsia and black leaves are visible on the bottom. The right light gray section has a comb pattern with comb-like teeth on the bottom. The right light gray section also shows a comb pattern with hexagons stacked on top of each other resembling a honeycomb. Each hexagon contains a black star. The image is presented on a white background.
