Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of fabric with a woven pattern, primarily composed of shades of tan, brown, and green. The background of the fabric features a repeating design of interlocking diamonds. A darker brown vine-like design runs vertically through the center of the fabric, with curved branches extending to the edges. The fabric appears to be made of a thick, woven material, possibly silk or wool. The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
