Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows three strips of fabric with a green and gold pattern. The strips are arranged side by side on a beige background. The leftmost strip is the longest and has a rough, torn edge on the left side. The middle strip is the shortest, and the rightmost strip is the same length as the leftmost strip. All three strips have a gold border around them. The fabric has a repeating pattern of gold shapes on a green background. The shapes appear to be floral or leaf-like. There is handwritten text below the strips that reads "7-14". There is a line of numbers in the bottom-right corner that reads "20.148.724". The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist.
