Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a blue and gold pattern. The fabric is dark blue with a repeating pattern of interlocking gold lines and shapes. The fabric has a rough, woven texture and appears to be made of a thick, dense material. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven, with some loose threads visible. The background of the image is white, with a small piece of paper or cardstock underneath the fabric. The fabric takes up most of the image, with a small border around it. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
