Stencil for Textile with Pattern of Bush Clover and Meandering Stream

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular stencil on white background featuring a design with a wavy line that resembles a stream. The wavy line meanders through the stencil from top to bottom in a curved path. Along the stream are several clusters of flowers with four petals. The flowers have thin stems. The stencil has a brown border around the edges that appears worn and scratched. A small red square sticker and some small white text are on the bottom-right corner.
