These three overall pieces represent roses, small branches and other stylized flowers, on the whole surface, with color contrasts to give effects of light and texture. The yellow sample doesn't have any colorway, neither any label, while the green and the grey ones have four attached colorways.
The green sample is a glazed fabric. 2001.281.1223.1 = green motif; 2001.281.1223.2 = yellow motif; 2001.281.1223.3 = grey motif
