The image shows a fabric piece shaped like a pouch with elaborate embroidery. The main objects displayed are large floral patterns, including a pink rose and a yellow flower, surrounded by blue and green scrolling vines. The fabric displays vibrant colors such as reds, pinks, blues, greens, and yellows, arranged in horizontal bands of pattern. Positioned centrally in the rectangular picture, the embroidered piece occupies most of the space with the floral band prominently in the middle, while an intricately patterned red border frames the top and bottom. The name "Marion H. Gaskell" is written in the lower right corner of the image.
