An irregular, shield-shaped piece cut with scalloped, notched edges rather than a straight rectangle, the olive-green ground centered on a stacked lozenge medallion in deep blue, coral-orange, crimson and ivory. Concentric borders of stepped meander (in a rust-brown running key pattern) and a serrated orange-and-blue band frame the field, with small angular blossom sprays and hooked leaf forms scattered across the green ground and corners.
An irregularly shaped ground, its edges left raw and unfinished, is filled almost fully by a single branching tree with a dark, sinuous trunk. Layered leaves in dusty green outlined with deeper teal cover the branches, interspersed with small clusters of coral and pink berries or buds, all set against a plain buff-colored field with no framing border.
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.
