Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, gold-colored woven piece. The woven piece is rectangular and oriented horizontally. It has a textured surface with rows of small, tightly packed, gold-colored threads or fibers. The threads or fibers are densely woven together, creating a solid, flat surface. The background of the image is a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop, with a rough texture. In the bottom right corner of the image, there is a small white rectangle with black text. The image depicts a work titled "Piece" by an unnamed artist.
