Textile Sample from Sample Book

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular textile sample with a gold border on a blue background. The sample features a repeating pattern of various geometric shapes, including triangles and diamonds, in shades of black, brown, and tan. The shapes are arranged in a symmetrical design with a central point. The gold border is worn and faded in some areas. A small white label with black text is in the bottom-right corner. The sample appears to be from a sample book by the artist.
