A square, fragmented embroidery on tan wool ground centers a red and green two-handled vase overflowing with pink and yellow blossoms. Symmetrical potted plants and floral sprays flank the center. At the bottom, two red four-legged animals stand in green enclosures on either side of the letters G D O T E. A wavy yellow and green floral border frames the composition, which exhibits frayed edges and scattered holes.
