A square silk and wool embroidery features a central stepped structure on a beige field. At its peak, the date ANNO 1748 sits above lines of text. Below, winged figures with light skin tones flank a plant, while two men in blue and red garments carry a large bunch of grapes on a pole. Twelve square woven samples in muted greens and yellows frame the scene on the frayed, uneven fabric.
