A vertical rectangular linen textile features horizontal bands of embroidery. Upper rows display black alphabets and numbers, followed by an inscription dated "1843." A central section contains small animals, human figures, a house, and floral baskets. The bottom half consists of ornate, repeating geometric borders, including red zigzags and multicolored diamonds, interspersed with bands of openwork and green foliage patterns. A thin green-stitched border frames the entire work.
