The square textile features a purple background with a woven pattern. A central design showcases a reddish-orange color with green and tan leaf-like shapes. The leaf-like shapes have borders of small white dots outlined in pink. A small white label with black text reading "20.148.1173" is placed at the bottom. The textile appears to be set against a gray surface. The piece is by an unknown artist, titled "Piece".
