Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woven fabric with a fringe on one side, predominantly black and tan in color. The fabric features a mix of checkered patterns, including some sections with large tan and black checks, and others with smaller checks. Some areas display diagonal tan and black stripes. The fabric's edges are rough and uneven, with a more finished look at the top and a fringe at the bottom. The fringe consists of loose tan threads. The overall appearance suggests a handmade or traditional textile. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
