Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a beige fabric with a blue-gray background at the top, transitioning to beige below. The fabric showcases a repeating pattern of small, gold dots arranged in curved lines that resemble tree branches or abstract shapes. The dots are densely packed at the top and become more sparse towards the bottom. A white border surrounds the fabric, with a small white rectangle in the top-right corner containing a dark shape. A handwritten number "786" is visible at the bottom center of the border, while a typed number "20.148.986" appears on the bottom right. The artwork is titled "Piece" by an unidentified artist.
