The Piece by artist unknown, depicts a dark green fabric with an intricate pattern. The fabric is predominantly dark green with a textured weave. Scattered across the fabric are symmetrical motifs in shades of green, brown, beige, and blue. The motifs are floral and leaf-like, with two large, winged designs on either side towards the top. A larger, more intricate design is centered at the bottom. The fabric's edges are surrounded by a thin white border.
