This is a photograph of a woven textile sample. The textile features a pattern with floral and geometric designs in red, blue, and green threads on a cream-colored background. In the center, there is a rectangular label that includes text identifying the maker and location, "Andrew Kreb," and "Manchester, York County Pa, 1846." The sample is organized in sections, each showcasing a different motif, with fringed edges. The red section has flowers, the blue and green sections include angular shapes resembling foliate patterns, and the border of the label is in red. The piece sits against a plain, beige background.
