A rectangular beige linen embroidery features stacked rows of alphabets and numbers in muted green, blue, and yellow thread. Below, scattered motifs of birds, trees, and an hourglass surround a central floral wreath containing the date "1750" and initials "I M M." To our right, Christ hangs from a cross labeled "INRI." Ornate floral and vine borders finish the bottom edge. Brown staining marks the top of the textile.
