The border is wide and features a repeating pattern of anchors and flowers in green, brown, and tan. The fabric background is a light brown color. The top scene depicts a tree with green leaves and a few birds flying around it. There are several people standing near the tree. The bottom scene shows a building with a tower and a fence in front of it. There are also several trees and birds in this scene. The stitching is intricate and features a range of colors, including green, blue, brown, and tan. The overall design is folk-art style.
