Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown stencil on a white background. Rectangular shape with a brown border around the edge. The center is a lattice pattern with a floral design cut out. The lattice pattern consists of crisscrossing lines that form diamonds. The floral design has multiple identical images of a plant with leaves at the top and a stem at the bottom, repeated in rows. The stencil appears to be made of a thick material, possibly cardboard or wood.
