Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is beige with a raised, textured design that appears to be a repeating pattern of interlocking letters or symbols. The fabric is torn into two pieces, one long and thin, the other short and wide, with the two pieces forming an L-shape. There are three tears in the long piece of fabric. The background of the image is beige, with a slightly lighter beige rectangle in the center. A small white label with black text reading "20.148.1005" is in the bottom-right corner. The title of the piece is "Piece" by an unidentified artist.
