Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is oriented horizontally and has a blue background with irregular brown shapes. The brown shapes are scattered across the fabric in no particular order. The fabric has a woven texture, with visible threads that are tightly packed together. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. The fabric is mounted on a beige background, with a small white label at the bottom. The label contains black text that reads "20.148.110". There is also some handwritten text below the label that reads "110". The fabric appears to be a textile sample, possibly for use in design or manufacturing. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
