Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored fabric with a repeating pattern of symmetrical designs. The design has four curved arms ending in points, with a curved shape between the arms, similar to a four-leaf clover. The background is a lighter shade of tan than the design. The fabric fills the image, with a white border around it. A small piece of paper at the bottom with handwritten and typed numbers. By artist Anni Albers, titled "Piece".
