This wool petitpoint on a fine black silk background is quite appealing, with silk highlights accentuating the birds' eyes. The wool thread count is estimated at around 20 threads per inch (equivalent to 400 threads per square inch). There are three or four missing threads, and the edges of the black background have suffered some damage.

It's backed onto a thin, solid backing that, during the 20th century, was mounted on a second backing made of foamcore for framing purposes. The piece measures 13 inches by 13 inches (33 cm x 33 cm) and despite a few flaws, retains its overall charm and intricate design.
