Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cut triangular piece of fabric with a brown, woven pattern and a few loose threads on the right side. The piece is on top of a light gray surface, possibly a carpet or rug, and another piece of fabric with a blue and gold pattern is visible in the top left corner. The brown piece has a maroon border along the right and bottom edges. Two white labels with black text are on the image: one reads "148.938" and the other reads "20.148.939". The image appears to be a close-up of a textile or fabric sample, with the triangular piece being the main focus. Piece by artist unknown.
