Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woven fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric is rectangular and brown with a repeating pattern of darker brown or black designs that resemble flowers or foliage. A horizontal band of alternating dark and light brown stripes runs across the bottom. Above and below the band are decorative borders. The fabric appears to be lying on a concrete or stone surface, which is visible around the edges. A small white label with black text is placed at the bottom.
