A vertically long sampler features rectangular cream fabric embroidered with horizontal bands in red, green, pink, purple, and blue. Near the top, an alphabet and numerals sit between geometric borders. Below, pink and green floral vines traverse the width, separated by sections marked with aged brown stains. The lower portion contains dense rows of zigzags, stars, and stylized flowers. A thin blue line borders the entire composition, framing the colorful decorative motifs.
