Sampler
This neatly worked sampler shows the maker’s grasp of the alphabet and numerals, as well as her ability to stitch. Motifs include stags, birds, plants and a crown, all worked in cross-stitch, as well as a decorative border. The threads used are coloured silks on an evenly woven linen ground.
