Black and white photo of a rectangular piece of fabric with a repeating pattern. The fabric is oriented vertically. The pattern on the fabric consists of rows and columns of shapes. The shapes are diamond-shaped with a line through the middle and a pointed shape on either side. Some of the shapes are white, while others are light gray. They are on a darker gray background. The fabric appears to be woven and has a rough texture. The edges of the fabric are rough and uneven. There is writing in the bottom margin.
