Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular sample of beige fabric with a subtle sheen, featuring a closely packed, uniform texture that resembles woven fibers. The fabric displays a muted, earthy tone. A small, vertical white label on the left side bears the number '3662' in black text. The fabric sample is set against a yellow background speckled with small black dots. The image appears to be a textile sample from a sample book.
