A square silk on linen embroidery features a central rectangular panel containing a floral vase beneath six lines of Spanish text. Muted shades of yellow, blue, green, and pink create intricate motifs throughout. Flanking the center, tall vertical bands display repeating star and diamond patterns. Varied rectangular blocks of geometric and botanical designs fill the surrounding space. A delicate green vine border frames the sampler, finished with small tassels at each corner.
