Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork, titled "Piece" by an unknown artist, depicts a woven piece of fabric. The fabric is rectangular with frayed edges. The fabric is predominantly brown and black. The weaving pattern consists of rows of black and brown threads, with the brown threads appearing to be the warp and the black threads the weft. The fabric has some unevenness in the weave, with some areas appearing more densely woven than others. The background of the image is a light beige color. A small white rectangle at the bottom center of the image contains black text.
