Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a beige background and a repeating pattern of dark blue and gold designs. The fabric is laid on a grey surface. The design features wavy lines that resemble water, and gold and blue flowers or plants. The fabric has a woven texture, with vertical and horizontal lines visible. There are four identical sections of the design on the fabric. The bottom of the fabric has a small, illegible number written on it. In the bottom-right corner, there is a small white rectangle with the numbers "20.148.830". The fabric appears to be a textile artwork titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
