Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular piece of frayed blue and gold fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is primarily blue with gold accents. The fabric is frayed and torn in several areas, with loose threads visible. A small white label with black numbers is on the right side. The background appears to be a light blue surface. The fabric sample appears to be from a sample book by an unknown artist.
