Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of olive green fabric with gold-colored thread woven through it. The fabric has a rough texture and frayed edges. The gold thread is woven in a pattern of short horizontal lines, creating a grid-like design. The fabric appears to be a sample of textile, possibly a piece of clothing or a decorative item. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is not specified. The image presents a close-up view of the fabric against a white background.
