This is a textile piece with an intricately woven floral and symbolic design. The pattern includes ornate floral motifs, a decorative urn, and a bald eagle emblem with the phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM" on a banner. The artwork is framed by symmetrical arrangements with foliage, fruits, and plants. The border features text indicating "SARAH ELIZA ELMER," the date "1854," and location "LEWIS CO, N.Y." The dark background contrasts with the light-colored design, reflecting traditional craftsmanship.
