Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow piece of fabric with a patterned design. The fabric is primarily blue, with a repeating pattern of darker blue and gold shapes. The fabric is rectangular, but the top portion is narrower than the rest, resembling a "T" shape with the top bar shorter than the rest of the piece. The fabric has rough, uneven edges. A small section of another fabric piece is visible in the upper-left corner. The background is off-white. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
