Stock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white cloth face mask titled "Stock" by an unknown artist. The mask is made of white fabric, possibly cotton or linen, with a rectangular shape and rounded edges. The mask has a wide, flat section at the top and a gathered, pleated section in the middle. Two white straps are on either side, one with a thin white string attached. The background of the image is solid black. The mask appears to be a simple, handmade or homemade design, possibly for protection against airborne particles. It has a plain and functional appearance.
