Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is square and has a blue-green color with gold flecks throughout. The right side of the fabric has a darker section, almost a brownish-gray color with some white spots. The fabric appears to be a woven textile, possibly silk or another type of fiber. The fabric's edges are rough and uneven. The background behind the fabric is off-white. A small white label at the bottom reads "20.148.265."
