Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown stencil on white background with brown border, featuring a floral design with flowers, leaves, and stems. The stencil has a rectangular shape with a thick brown border around the edges. The white background has a subtle grid pattern. The floral design is intricately cut out of the brown material, with multiple flowers and leaves of various sizes. The flowers have many petals, and the leaves are shaped like teardrops or ovals. The stems and branches are thin and curved, connecting the flowers and leaves. A small white label with black text is attached to the top-right corner of the stencil.
