This is a drawing of a decorative textile design featuring a symmetrical, intricate pattern of floral motifs and mythical creatures in red on a cream background. In the lower left corner, there is text stating "DANIEL S & SALLY BUCK * NE CATHARI * 1844." A small grid pattern appears at the top right, mirroring sections of the design. The border of the piece is adorned with a lattice pattern.
