Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unidentified artist. The fabric is tan with a woven texture and a lighter tan border around its edges. The background of the fabric is a slightly darker tan than the border. There is a light-colored, woven design on the fabric that appears to be a floral or leaf-like pattern. The fabric is set against a gray and white background that resembles stone or concrete. The image is bordered on the bottom-right corner by a small white rectangle with black text that reads 20.148.1067.
