The image shows twelve intricately designed squares of equal size. Each square is decorated with colorful motifs such as flowers, wreaths, an American flag, and an eagle. The color palette includes reds, blues, greens, yellows, and browns. The motifs are centrally placed within each square, with floral wreaths featuring prominently. Some squares feature specific symbols like the eagle and flag. The art is arranged in a grid pattern, with the artist's name, Mary Ann Burton, signed at the lower right corner.
