Executed in wool on an openweave linen ground in cross, back and herringbone stitches, featuring a scenic band in the upper third with cattle, deer, birds, trees, a black rooster, and a gazebo. The lower two thirds consists of geometric and floral pattern bands. Some loss to the wool, but overall still very colorful and unusual. 22" L x 14-1/2" W, $475
