A square stumpwork and satin embroidery frame with a blank center features raised vignettes in muted blue, gold, and pink. Across the top, a man and woman with light skin tones flank a fountain between a camel and leopard. Vertical panels show winged beasts and figures near tents. Along the bottom, a reclining lion, a musician, and a seated unicorn appear. Intricate needlework creates a tactile effect across the scenes.
