Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a triangular piece of fabric with a patterned design. The fabric is positioned diagonally, with the top-right corner pointing towards the upper right of the image and the bottom-left corner pointing towards the lower left. The fabric features a predominantly beige background with intricate patterns in shades of brown, blue, and green. The patterns include floral motifs, geometric shapes, and other designs. A small white label at the bottom of the image bears the text "3 / 20.148.311" in black font. The background of the image is a plain off-white color, providing a neutral backdrop for the fabric. The overall appearance suggests that this may be a sample or a fragment of a larger textile, possibly a rug or a piece of clothing. The title of the piece is "Piece" by artist not specified.
