Vertical parallelogram checkEntry/Object ID
2020.1.40Description
From the book: "There are two ways of making a Parallelogram Check pattern. In the first version (Vertical), the parallelogram checks are slanted at the top and bottom, and straight at the sides. In the second version (Horiztonal), the checks are slanted at the sides, and straight at the top and bottom. In both versions, if odd-numbered rows are used on the right side, the checks will slant to the left as shown; whereas if the even-numbered rows are used on the right side, the checks will slant to the right instead. The pattern should be thus reversed if there are to be two panels of it on either side of a common center."Collection
