A rectangular beige fabric sampler is punctuated by patches of intricate beadwork. Small vignettes depict a figure riding a dark donkey, grazing white sheep, and varied floral arrangements. In the upper right, a large pink rose sits near a farm scene with cattle and sheep. Religious symbols and cornucopias appear toward the lower right. These dense, multicolored patches are separated by wide gaps of plain fabric, showcasing motifs in red, blue, and yellow.
