Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is primarily blue with gold accents. The fabric is rectangular and oriented vertically. The blue threads are densely woven and run vertically. The gold threads are woven in a pattern that resembles a design or motif at the bottom and scattered throughout the rest of the fabric. The gold threads are thinner and more loosely woven than the blue threads. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. The background behind the fabric is off-white. A small white label with black text is below the fabric.
