This paper shows eight squares of fancy designs. The colors are mostly gold and green. Each square has swirls, shapes, and tiny lines that look like lace. The edges are slightly torn and faded. The gold ink stands out against the light green paper. It looks like it was made by pressing wood blocks into the paper—each block made one square. Next, look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
