Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a square piece of fabric titled "Piece" by an unknown artist. The fabric features a repeating pattern of hexagons and floral motifs in a grid-like arrangement. The hexagons are outlined in dark blue and contain a yellow floral design. The background of the fabric is a muted gold color. The hexagons are surrounded by yellow and dark blue curvilinear designs that resemble leaves and flowers. The edges of the fabric appear to be frayed and worn. The fabric fills the entire image. The image has a white background on the right side.
