An oval panel with a solid black ground, centered on a bouquet of red roses with pale pink highlights and sage-green leaves. This central spray is encircled by a garland of smaller rose blossoms strung along a golden-yellow vine, forming a continuous wreath just inside the outer edge.
A medallion worked within a full circular roundel is set against a coral-red ground scattered with a faint rust-toned scrolling vine, the whole left unmounted on its plain woven backing, whose margins remain visible beyond the design. At the center a cruciform ornament in ivory and tan scrollwork surrounds a small black panel with a green cross, flanked by four dark green stepped leaf forms. The black border encircling the field carries a continuous cream vine-and-tulip motif interrupted by pale rosette medallions at the cardinal points.

A dense field of small, evenly spaced knots forms a subtle basketweave texture in soft gray tones threaded with dark charcoal, giving the surface a pebbled, almost tactile grid pattern. Plain gray bands frame the field along the top and bottom edges, left open and unpatterned in contrast to the busy center. The overall palette stays restrained, moving only between muted grays and near-black accents.

The field is left entirely open, a plain expanse of pale straw-toned ground broken only near its lower edge by a solid band of deep brown. Between the two zones runs a narrow transition of thin parallel lines - a slender rust-brown stripe followed by a row of small raised ivory dots - before the brown field takes over completely. The inset detail shows the tight, even grid of the weave and the slightly textured, beaded appearance of that dotted line.
