Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, golden-brown fabric strip with a repeating pattern. The fabric has a woven texture and is rectangular in shape. The pattern on the fabric features rows of interlocking shapes. The top and bottom edges of the fabric have a solid border. The fabric is placed on a grayish-white background that resembles a textured surface, possibly a carpet or rug. A small white rectangle with black text is superimposed on the bottom-right corner. The image is titled "Piece" by an unspecified artist.
