A horizontally long tan textile features a grid of rectangular embroidered panels. On the left, a black-stitched Spanish inscription names the maker, Maria Guadalupe Gonzalez, and the year 1840. To its right, panels display rows of red stars in hexagons, stylized flowers with birds, and bands of green zigzags. Further right, sections of muted blue, yellow, and green threads form interlocking geometric shapes and floral motifs, including pink pomegranates and leafy trellises.
