A vertical tan linen cloth is embroidered with grainy cross-stitches forming a dark green vine border with red berries. Inside, rows of muted silk alphabets, crowns, and baskets sit above a centered six-line poem. Two tall floral bushes with tiers of red blossoms flank the text. Near the bottom, stylized blue and pink flowering plants sit above the stitched signature: "Susan Dann's work in the fourteenth year of her age. 1817."
