Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unknown artist. The image shows a square piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of leaves and stems in a gold color on a dark brown background. The fabric has a textured weave that gives it a slightly ribbed appearance. The gold-colored leaves and stems are intricately woven into the fabric, with some areas featuring more prominent texture than others. The dark brown background provides contrast to the gold-colored design. The image is surrounded by a beige border. A series of numbers is printed in the bottom-right corner.
