The image shows a blue and gold textile with a floral design titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The textile is rectangular with a rough, worn texture. The right and left sides feature a brown border that is chipped. The top left section is blue with a large gold floral pattern. The top right section has a gold background with a faint floral pattern. The bottom section is divided into two parts: the left side is gold with a white floral pattern on a blue background, and the right side is gold with a small gold circle. The background appears to be a gray surface. There is a small white label with black text in the bottom right corner.
