A square cream-colored silk and wool textile features intricate dark brown embroidery. A geometric border frames the top and left edges. Centrally, the name "Agnes Dickinson" and date "1821" appear amidst scattered letters, floral sprigs, and birds. Floral wreaths enclose sentimental inscriptions including "Tho absent yet beloved" and "A token of love," while four octagonal frames contain detailed scenes of a swan, leafy trees, and paired birds.
