Rectangular piece of crudely worked linen (?) embroidered textile. The patterning comprises two large 'W' shaped motifs, worked predominantly in white, and also red and green cotton threads. These are infilled with orange coloured pulled thread work. The ground separating the two motifs is worked in the same pulled thread work stitch but it is yellow. The centre panel is framed at the longer edges by a row of red and yellow rectangles and the longer edges are finished off with red blanket stitching.
