Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a patterned design. The fabric has a light-brown background with a repeating pattern of interlocking lines and shapes in a lighter brown and greenish color. The fabric is long and thin, with a white border around it. There are numbers printed on the border at the bottom, with "206" handwritten on the left and a typed "20.148.306" on the right. The border is off-white. The fabric fills most of the image.
