A vertically oriented silk embroidery on tan woolen canvas features three rows of alphabet letters in muted browns. Centered below, a grainy bowl of fruit is flanked by two stylized green plants. In the bottom half, a triangular dark green tree stands between two flowering shrubs, accompanied by a blue letter 'M.' A dark green zigzag border frames three sides, finishing in a fringe of green and blue threads along the bottom.
