Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The textile sample shows a square piece of fabric with a brown and white color scheme. The fabric features a leaf pattern in a darker brown hue on a lighter background. The leaves are arranged diagonally across the fabric. A small white rectangle in the bottom-left corner bears the number "3686" in black text. The fabric sample is set against a yellow background with black speckles.
