Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of dark brown fabric with a patterned design. The fabric is made of a woven material and has a rough texture. The pattern on the fabric is a repeating design of interlocking hexagons. The hexagons are arranged in rows and columns, with each row offset from the one below it. The fabric has a dark brown color with lighter brown accents. There are some small white specks on the surface of the fabric, possibly holes or stains. The fabric is mounted on a beige background, which provides a neutral contrast to the dark brown fabric. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
