A horizontally oriented embroidery in silver filé on linen depicts the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary with light skin tones. On the left, Gabriel kneels with palms raised toward a small tree. Mary stands on the right holding a book before a high-backed seat. Both figures have large halos and wear pale, flowing garments against a dark background with a diamond pattern. The scene is set on a rectangular fabric with frayed edges.
