The image displays two pieces of embroidery on a neutral background. The upper piece features a brown deer next to a small, red and pink flower. Below it, a separate band of embroidery displays three floral motifs, with the central flower being slightly larger and in shades of red and pink, flanked by two smaller floral designs. The color palette consists primarily of neutral browns for the animal and various shades of red, pink, and green for the floral patterns. The deer and single flower are positioned at the top center, while the floral band is centered below, both set against a plain, light background.
