Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown. The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a woven pattern. The fabric is primarily sage green with a brown background visible through the weave. The sage green yarn is woven in a diagonal pattern. The fabric appears to be slightly frayed around the edges. The background of the image is off-white, resembling aged paper. There is a small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner with black text that reads "20.148.89". There is a small pencil drawing of a loop with a line through it below the white rectangle.
