Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown rectangular stencil with darker brown border, featuring a pattern of intersecting lines and diamond shapes. A repeating design of four-pointed star-like shapes with eight pointed petals are scattered across the stencil; three fully visible and one partially cut off. The stencil has a textured appearance and some wear. A small white label with a red border and black text is in the bottom-left corner.
