"Piece" by artist Anni Albers. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a blue-green background and gold-colored floral patterns. The fabric appears to be woven with a textured weave. The background is a dark blue-green color. Gold-colored floral patterns are scattered across the fabric. The flowers are stylized and have a curved, organic shape. The edges of the fabric are rough and frayed. A white strip runs across the bottom.
