This is a drawing of a textile design. The image shows a symmetrical pattern with floral and geometric motifs against a dark background. In the center, there is an intricate floral design with petals and star shapes radiating outward. One side features a band with repeating flower designs, and a section below showcases a stylized lion-like figure alongside trees and fences. The name "Maryett S. Dickerson" and the year "1841" are included. The pattern is detailed and decorative, typical of early-to-mid 19th-century textile motifs.
