Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular brown stencil with a thick border on a white background, featuring a repeating pattern of flower-like shapes cut out of it. The stencil is made of a thick material with a rough texture and appears to be rusted or corroded. The flower-like shapes are arranged in rows and columns, with each shape having multiple rounded, radiating petals. The background behind the stencil is plain white. Stencil by artist.
