A silk on linen embroidery depicts eleven pastoral vignettes in muted greens, blues, and browns on tan fabric. Along the top, a shepherd with livestock, songbirds, and a stone fountain appear. In the middle, two floral wreaths flank a flower-filled vase and a bird's nest. On the bottom, a riverside church sits to the left of a woven basket overflowing with blossoms and a farmhouse scene with grazing animals.
