A rectangular wool embroidery on a cream ground features jagged, frayed edges. Centered is a large flowering plant flanked by two small birds, framed by scrolling blue and ochre vines. Small, stylized deer are interspersed among the curving stems and blossoms. At the bottom, the name "WILLIAMS" is stitched in bold, dark blue block letters. Delicate geometric and organic patterns fill the field in muted shades of blue, tan, and gold.
