Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by an unknown artist shows a blue and gold-colored patterned fabric against a white background. The fabric features a repeating design of interconnected floral shapes in dark blue on a lighter blue background with gold accents. The fabric fills most of the image, with a small section of white space below it. A light beige border surrounds the fabric. The lower right corner of the beige border displays a series of numbers. The border on the left side appears uneven. The image is rectangular.
