Stencil with Continuous Fret Pattern (sayagata)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular black stencil with rounded corners and a continuous fret pattern cut out in white. The pattern consists of interconnected lines forming a maze-like design, with multiple diagonal sections that interlock. The stencil has a worn, slightly crumpled appearance and is set against a plain white background. Two small lines of text are visible in the top-left corner, with the second line written in red.
