Piece of Cloth for Bedding with Pattern of Bamboo
Black and white image of a piece of fabric with a repeating pattern of light-colored bamboo and leaves on a dark background. The fabric appears to be rectangular with rough edges. The pattern consists of vertical light-colored bamboo stalks with leaves sprouting from the nodes. The stalks are of varying heights and are arranged in no particular order. The leaves are teardrop-shaped and have a pointed tip. They are arranged in clusters along the stalks. The background of the fabric is dark and appears to have a textured weave. A small section of white background is visible around the edges of the fabric.
