The Piece by the artist shows a vertically oriented, elongated, and irregularly shaped piece of fabric with frayed edges. The fabric is primarily gray with visible gold, pink, red, and white threads woven into it. The gold threads form curving lines and shapes, some resembling leaves or flowers. There are also some areas where the gold thread creates intricate, swirling patterns. The fabric appears to be a fragment, possibly from a larger textile. It is set against a white background.
