Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a close-up of a textile piece by artist "Piece". The textile features a repeating pattern of gold medallions surrounded by geometric designs. The medallions are circular and have a textured, bumpy appearance. They are arranged in a row across the center of the image. The background of the textile is primarily composed of a blue and gold floral pattern in the top left corner and a green and black striped pattern at the bottom. A small white label with black text reading "20.148.1059" is visible in the bottom-right corner. The image appears to be a fragment of a larger textile.
