Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The piece by unknown artist is a rectangular fabric with a repeating pattern of interlocking shapes in a light brown color. The fabric has a woven texture, with a thin border around the edges. The background is a gray surface, possibly concrete or stone, with visible texture and some white specks. A small white rectangle at the bottom contains black text. The fabric takes up most of the image, with the gray background visible around it.
