Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, rectangular piece of fabric with a woven texture. The fabric is light brown and has a small piece of paper attached to the top-right corner with black Chinese characters written on it. The fabric appears to be made of a natural fiber such as silk or hemp. The background of the image is a gray surface, possibly a table or a wall, with some white specks or marks on it. A small white rectangle at the bottom contains the numbers. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is not specified.
