Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular sample of dark purple fabric with a woven texture featuring an intricate pattern of interlocking loops and curved lines. A strip of tan-colored paper borders the fabric on all sides. A small white label on the bottom-left corner of the fabric displays the number "3460" in black text. The fabric fills most of the image, with the tan border taking up a smaller portion around the edges. The image appears to be a textile sample from a sample book.
