Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Piece" by an unknown artist depicts a triangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric features a predominantly orange and green color scheme with white accents. The design consists of various shapes, including circles and diamonds. The circles contain a four-petal flower-like motif, while the diamonds are arranged in a zigzag pattern. A border on the left side of the fabric appears to have a similar floral pattern. The fabric is set against a beige background.
