Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a woven pattern. The fabric is tan with a lighter tan geometric pattern. The pattern consists of various rectangles and lines. The fabric appears to be frayed on the left and right edges. A white strip runs along the bottom of the fabric with handwritten numbers. The number "86" is written in cursive in the center. On the right side, there is a vertical line separating two sets of numbers: the first set is printed in black and reads "20.148.86". The background of the image is white. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
