Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by the artist unknown. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a woven design. The fabric is primarily a muted greenish-gray color. The fabric has a diagonal ribbed texture with a repeating pattern of gold-colored woven squares in the four corners and a larger gold-colored woven square in the center. The fabric appears to be frayed around the edges, with some loose threads visible. A small piece of green material appears on the upper-left edge. The background of the image is a light beige color. A small white label with the numbers "20.148.21" is placed at the bottom of the image.
