Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark blue fabric with a repeating pattern of gold designs. The background is a grey surface, possibly paper or cardboard, with some handwritten notes and markings. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains black text. A thin strip of the same fabric is visible in the bottom-left corner. The fabric appears to be a sample or a piece of textile, possibly for the artwork titled "Piece" by an unidentified artist.
