label: Description
content: In the center, an oval framing device with a bunting at the top contains a scene of a house flanked by trees on a large lawn. The oval is surrounded by motifs symmetrically arranged: baskets of flowers, pairs of birds, flowering trees, and butterflies, with a strawberry vine border on four sides. Outside the border, additional sprays of flowers appear. The inscription appears below the scene, and at the very bottom the names Margereta Whann and George Terrell are embroidered.
