The title is "Piece" and the artist is unknown. Square piece of fabric with a textured surface, featuring a gold and black floral pattern on a dark background, gold floral design appears woven with thin, diagonal, gold lines. The fabric has a thick border around it that is brown with white and gray speckles. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains black text. The fabric takes up most of the image.
