Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two pieces of blue and tan fabric with a pattern. The piece on the left is rectangular and positioned on top of a white background. The piece on the right is positioned to the right of the first piece. The fabric is blue with a tan pattern that appears to be some sort of abstract design. The pattern on both pieces appears to be the same. The fabric looks old and frayed at the edges. The left piece has a handwritten number "157" written on the white background below it. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains the text "20.148.157".
