The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular textile with a floral pattern. The textile is primarily salmon-colored with a tan border around the edges. The floral pattern features large, abstract flowers in shades of salmon, tan, and green. The flowers are scattered across the textile, with some areas of solid salmon color. The overall design is intricate, with detailed lines and textures that give the impression of woven fabric. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is not specified but appears to be an example of a rug or tapestry.
