The image shows an embroidered textile with two large stylized trees or plants, each with rounded fruits or flowers, on a plain light-colored fabric background. The color palette comprises primarily shades of yellow, blue, green, and pink with some accents of red. The plants are positioned symmetrically, one on the left and one on the right, with a wavy, multicolored ground line in green, blue, and yellow at the bottom. The number "1714" is stitched in green thread in the upper central part of the fabric.
