Woolwork embroidery, square piece intended for a cushion cover. Donors estimate is around 1850. Original colors have faded. The background colors on the original are red, dark red, blueish green. The chart is done in red and dark red only, because the blueish green looked horrible when applied to the chart. Probably the original shade was different from that on the DMC palette.

The alphabets are all for whitework embroidery, qua size suitable for marking linen, but more decorative than marking alphabets usually are. One alphabet decorated with flowers, one with branches with leaves, and the third has half a garland around the letters, such as is seen on napkins and handkerchiefs.
