A vertically oriented silk and wool embroidery panel features horizontal rows of alphabets and numbers in muted reds and greens. Centrally, a tan, two-story house with a red door is flanked by stylized trees and potted flowers. At the base, text reads "Agness Ure 1824" between hearts and crowns. A scrolling floral border frames the entire rectangular scene, which is worked in fine cross-stitches and satin-stitches on a neutral fabric ground.
