Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular textile sample with a brown and white striped pattern. The sample is oriented vertically. The stripes are thin and evenly spaced, alternating between dark brown and white. The sample has a rough, frayed edge around its perimeter, with a brown border visible. A small white rectangle in the bottom-right corner contains the number "3756" in black text. The sample is mounted on a light blue background, with some handwritten numbers visible at the bottom.
