Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of curved, vine-like lines and shapes in darker brown. The fabric has a woven texture and appears to be a textile fragment. A small white label with the numbers 20.148.579 is placed at the bottom right corner. The background appears to be a gray surface, possibly a table or other flat surface. The overall appearance suggests that this is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
