The "Piece" by the unknown artist shows a textile with a repeating pattern. The textile is rectangular and divided into multiple sections with a grid-like layout. The background of the textile is beige with blue, red, and black stripes. There are four columns of four sections each. The top and bottom sections have scalloped edges and a brown line running through the middle. Inside each section in the top and bottom rows and between the second and third and the sixth and seventh sections from the top are flower designs in brown. The four columns each have a different design. The first column has vertical Chinese characters. The second and fourth columns have the characters "Tai Ping Sheng Long". The second column has a mountain landscape, a house, and a dragon. The third column has vertical characters that read "Fu Shou Chang Lei." The fourth column has a mountain, a tree by water, and a boat. The top row has three-leaf clover designs. The border around the textile is gray. The bottom-right corner has a small box with the numbers "20.148.970".
