This is a photograph of a textile sample. The image shows a swatch of woven fabric with a regular pattern of interlocking shapes in red, blue, and white hues. The design consists of symmetrical, geometric motifs that repeat across the fabric. The texture of the textile is visible, suggesting a coarse material. The colors have a slightly faded quality. The fabric is against a plain backdrop.
