A horizontally oriented stumpwork embroidery depicts a garden scene with people with light skin tones wearing ornate gold, blue, and cream garments. Central, a woman sits in a basin under a floral arbor. Figures flank her, including men sheltered in tents at the bottom corners. A peacock, lion, and deer roam among small flowers and trees, with a three-story building in the upper right and a sun and rainbow above.
