An embroidery square features a central floral wreath flanked by two standing figures, all worked in monochromatic off-white thread. Above, a lamb reclines holding a flag, while a peacock with a fanned tail stands below. Intricate vines and small birds fill the surrounding space. This field is framed by a scalloped border of individual panels, each showcasing a unique, textured openwork pattern against the light square fabric.
