Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is primarily beige with a patterned border at the top and right side. The border features a repeating design of four-petaled flowers in dark green and brown on a beige background with small black dots. A thin black and beige plaid stripe runs along the bottom of the border. The main body of the fabric has a repeating beige pattern on a slightly darker beige background. A small section of blue and gold fabric is visible in the bottom-left corner. The background of the image is white. A small piece of paper with a handwritten number "625" is visible in the middle of the image. A small rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains the text "20.148.625" in black font.
