A horizontally long beige linen sampler features rows of uppercase alphabets in green, reddish-brown, and light brown. Below, colorful motifs including flowering plants, a deer, and stylized trees surround a central floral wreath containing the initials "KZ." The date "1858" is stitched at the bottom center. A thin red zigzag border lines the top of the textile, which exhibits frayed edges and signs of age.
