Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a framed fabric labeled "Piece" by an unidentified artist. The fabric is golden brown and rectangular, occupying most of the frame. The fabric features a patterned design with stripes in a darker brown. The upper portion contains four visible horizontal stripes. The top stripe features a light brown curvilinear design on a dark brown background. The fabric's bottom half displays a repeating geometric pattern of diamonds and chevrons. The frame around the fabric appears old and scratched, with a grayish color. A small white label on the bottom edge displays black text. The background behind the frame is plain white.
