Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is tan with a repeating black pattern. The pattern consists of four-pointed shapes with rounded corners. The shapes are arranged in rows and columns. Each shape has a tan and black interwoven design in the center. The fabric has a white border on the top and right sides. The background appears to be a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains the numbers.
