Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a small, rectangular piece of fabric with a textured surface. The fabric is salmon-colored with a rough, woven texture. A darker salmon border around the fabric is lined with a thin gold border and then a slightly thicker transparent border. A white label with black text reading "3750" is affixed to the top-right corner of the fabric. The background is a light blue-gray color, possibly paper or cardboard, with some handwritten text visible on the right side. The text reads "3750" and some other illegible words.
