The rectangular object has a brown background. It is composed of many horizontal rows of small tan oval shapes. A light-colored strip runs horizontally across the object, separating it into an upper and lower section. A small, illegible blue signature is on the object. A white rectangle with black numbers overlaps the object at the bottom. The object sits on a light-colored stone surface. The object is titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
