The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork titled "Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a long, rectangular beige fabric with a repeating diamond pattern and floral designs. The fabric features a light beige background with darker beige lines forming diamond shapes. Inside the diamonds and surrounding them are intricate floral patterns. A small square section in the top-right corner shows a close-up of a different fabric with a reddish-brown color and a woven texture. The main fabric is set against a gray background that resembles concrete or stone. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains black text.
