Sampler (Ovid's Weavers)
1996

A framed embroidery sampler with a cream-colored background, featuring a central text that reads "OVID'S WEAVERS" flanked by two passages of text. The top and bottom borders are adorned with red and green floral motifs, while the sides showcase various embroidered images including flowers, animals, and geometric shapes. The overall design is reminiscent of traditional cross-stitch samplers with a classical theme.
