Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is brown with a woven texture and has a frayed edge around its perimeter. The fabric appears to be made up of small, interlacing threads that form a grid-like pattern. The threads are a light brown color with small white dots woven throughout. The fabric is set against a white background. There are several loose threads visible at the bottom of the fabric. A small piece of paper with numbers is in the bottom-right corner of the image. The bottom of the image has a few scribbled numbers.
