Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with a woven texture. The fabric is rectangular and appears to be made of burlap or a similar coarse material. It has a rough, frayed edge around the perimeter. There are two visible folds in the fabric, dividing it into three sections. Small, dark spots are scattered across the surface. Some areas appear slightly darker or lighter than others, possibly due to wear or damage. The fabric displays a subtle grid-like pattern created by the weave. Piece by Unknown.
