The image shows a long, vertical strip of fabric with multiple horizontal sections. The top section is tan with blue floral patterns. Below that is a thin tan section, followed by a green and tan section with a wavy line pattern. The next section is tan with a subtle pattern, then a blue and tan section with a floral pattern similar to the top. There are additional thin tan sections below, with a partial brown and gold section visible at the bottom left. The fabric has a rough, frayed edge on both sides. The title is "Piece" and the artist is not specified.
