Stencil with Pattern of Ivy Leaves on Water

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown square stencil with rounded corners and a smooth edge. The stencil is a brown plate with a carved design. The design features a pattern of stylized water and ivy leaves. The water is depicted by swirling lines that form circular ripples throughout. The ivy leaves are scattered across the stencil in a seemingly random pattern. The leaves are carved out of the brown plate, creating white spaces where the design has been cut away, leaving the brown plate to serve as the background. The stencil, titled "Stencil with Pattern of Ivy Leaves on Water", is by an unknown artist.
