Embroidered bed curtain
The embroidered bed curtain by an unknown artist features a repeating pattern on a light tan background. The design includes red thread embroidery in a variety of motifs, including animals such as cats, squirrels, birds, and deer. There are also flowers, leaves, and curled vines throughout the pattern. The embroidery is intricate, with detailed designs on each of the motifs. The pattern is densely packed, with little to no empty space between the designs. A thin line of stitching runs vertically along the left edge.
