Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The rectangular textile sample has a gold border with a rough and uneven edge. The background of the sample is blue. A repeating pattern of intersecting green diagonal lines forms a diamond shape. Inside the diamond shapes are red and green rectangles. A white sticker with black text is on the top-right corner of the sample, displaying the numbers. The sample appears to be on a gray surface.
