This 17th-18th century sampler, titled "Border," showcases a variety of colorful embroidered motifs, including geometric patterns, floral designs, and a small figure. Created by an anonymous artist, the sampler is a testament to the skill and artistry of needlework during this era. The intricate patterns and the inclusion of a figure reflect the cultural values and artistic sensibilities of the time. These samplers often served as a display of a maker's skill and served as practice pieces for young women to learn embroidery techniques.
