Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a rectangular piece of fabric with a gold border, featuring a pattern of brown and blue designs on a beige background. The fabric's edges are rough and frayed. The beige background displays a zigzag pattern. Brown floral motifs are visible in the center and lower part of the fabric. A blue pattern resembling leaves or flowers is at the top. The fabric appears to be a sample of textile, possibly silk or another luxurious material.
