A horizontally oriented beige textile sampler is ornately beaded with varied animal and floral motifs. To our left, a yellow feline and large butterfly sit above a multicolored rooster and potted tree. Centrally, a brown horse and white dove overlook a pelican in her piety and a blue bird. To our right, a circular floral wreath containing a small heart hangs above two white sheep resting in a grassy landscape.
