content: Natural color linen worked in red silk with the design reserved in the linen outlined in green silk. Details of decoration in green silk. Main design consists of a fountain flanked by grotesque figures with animal-like heads and holding a cup. Standing behind a strange four-footed beast (stag?) whose horns sprout into a flower. Above is a border of highly stylized plant forms. Piece appears to be a part of a larger embroidery as the guard border below is cut. Stitches outline in green silk closely laid chain stitch for red of background.
