This is an image of an embroidered sampler. It features a sampler with floral designs and a central text that reads, "Presented by The Relief Society to Sister Eliza S. in July 1868." The artwork is framed in a wooden frame. The embroidery includes colorful flowers with delicate stems and leaves intertwined with the text. The sampler is displayed on a textured fabric with contrasting colors. The style is reminiscent of folk art from the 19th century, showcasing a personal and community-based approach to craft. The wooden frame is dark brown with visible grain and corner details.
