The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title is "Piece" by artist Faith Ringgold. A rectangular piece of fabric with a yellow background, covered in a grid-like pattern of small, tightly woven yellow and lighter yellow threads. The fabric appears to be a type of woven material, possibly a textile or a piece of cloth. The edges are straight and the corners are square. A small white rectangle at the bottom center bears black numbers. The background behind the fabric is white.
