The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and tan fabric piece with gold thread embroidery. The fabric is mostly black at the top and fades to tan at the bottom. The top section has a gold embroidered vine with leaves. There is a gold embroidered design on the left side, near the top. The fabric appears to be a long, thin strip with a T-shaped cutout. The bottom of the fabric has a fringe made of black threads. A small piece of brown fabric with embroidered flowers is to the right. The background is a gray surface, possibly paper or fabric. The fabric titled "Piece" by the artist is shown.
