Sampler Fragment

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan fabric with embroidered sampler. The top section features rows of alphabet and numbers in various colors. The main section includes a variety of designs, including birds, plants in pots, a house, a tree, and people. A circular design in the top right reads "MRS MQS 1817". The bottom section features various shapes and designs. The fabric has a frayed edge and appears to be old. The artist is unknown, but the sampler fragment likely dates back to the early 19th century.
