content: Oblong panel of linen embroidered in red silk. The background is solidly worked leaving the design in linen. Figures of people move in various scenes among trees. Figures and foliage are naturalistically rendered and are outlined in single running stitch. Background is in cross stitch. The scenes are probably biblical in origin, and the center group represents Saul hurling a spear at David who plays on his harp.
