Fragment from an Embroidered Border by unknown artist. A rectangular piece of off-white fabric with embroidered designs. The fabric has a rough, uneven edge at the top and bottom. The left side features a pink structure with a triangular roof and pink legs, accompanied by a blue and yellow plant, a pink and green plant, and blue and pink flowers. A green border with a geometric pattern runs along the bottom and diagonally across the right side. The green border on the right side has a dotted line along its inner edge. The right side of the fabric features scattered small white stitches and a few green plants. The top edge has a repeating pattern of small, colorful shapes. The fabric is set against a plain gray background.
