Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teal-colored fabric with gold and light blue designs. The fabric is triangular and appears to be made of a woven material. The teal fabric takes up most of the image. A gold design starts near the bottom-right corner and flows up and to the left like a tendril. A similar design begins on the bottom-left and ends near the top-left corner. The background appears to be a gray surface, possibly a table or countertop. The image is titled "Piece" by an unknown artist.
