This is a photograph of a textile sample with intricate patterns. The image showcases a piece of fabric featuring horizontal bands of woven patterns, primarily in a dark blue and cream color scheme. Each band displays ornate floral and geometric motifs, with differing designs that vary in complexity and size. In one of the stripes, there are words woven into the fabric that read, "MADE BY HANNAH STARR COE 183?" indicating the creator and likely the date of creation. The intricate detailing in the weaving highlights the craftsmanship and design style of the period. In the lower portion of the image is a smaller segment of fabric, displaying a continuation of similar motifs, suggesting this piece could be part of a larger textile collection or a fragment of a larger work.
