Stencil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Copper plate with intricate cut-out design. The plate is rectangular with rounded corners and a rough, uneven edge. The cut-out design fills most of the plate and features a variety of shapes, including flowers, geometric patterns, and abstract forms. The cut-outs are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, with some areas featuring dense clusters of shapes and others featuring more open spaces. The copper plate has a dark brown patina with lighter brown areas. The background of the image is white. Title: Stencil. Artist: unknown.
