A vertically long linen cloth is embroidered with horizontal bands of figures and stylized floral patterns in muted pastel silks. At the top, small figures stand beside floral clusters. Lower bands feature raised, three-dimensional blossoms and intricate geometric borders. Centered near the base, a blue interlaced knot sits above a blue vase holding a large flower. The sampler concludes at the base with a final row of tan and blue letters.
