The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown fabric with black floral pattern, rectangular shape, tan border with black speckles, white label with black numbers on left side. The fabric has a woven texture and the floral pattern consists of lines forming flower shapes; a central flower and leaves are depicted. The tan border surrounds the fabric on all sides, and the white label with the number "3456" is on the bottom-left corner of the fabric. The image is likely a textile sample from a sample book by an unknown artist.
