A vertical rectangular linen sampler is bordered in red fabric. The top half features horizontal rows of an uppercase alphabet and geometric patterns stitched in muted red, blue, green, and purple wool. The lower portion displays scattered motifs: colorful flower pots, tall floral stems, and small birds. A rooster and several numbers sit near the bottom edge, where minor holes and wear appear on the tan textile.
