Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark brown rectangular mat with rounded corners, featuring vertical white stripes and four black stencils with white Chinese characters. The background has 17 thin vertical lines, some solid and some dotted. The stencils are placed on top of the background in no particular order. The top stencil is positioned towards the right. The other three stencils are overlapping each other and are more on the left side. The mat appears to be made of a leather-like material. The background behind the mat is white. The title of the image is Stencil and the artist is unknown.
