Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular stencil with a white background, featuring a floral pattern and two white geese. The stencil has a thick brown border around the edges. The floral pattern consists of brown flowers and leaves cut out of the stencil, with horizontal lines cut out to resemble water. A white goose is cut out of the stencil on the left side, near the bottom, and another white goose is cut out on the right side, near the top. The stencil appears to be made of a thick, possibly cardboard or wood material.
