Description

A colorful, hand-embroidered bird, with flowers and leaves. The bird is mostly blue, green, and yellow, and appears to be flying. The flowers are various shades of pink and blue, with various shades of green leaves. The embroidery appears to have been removed from its original location, and attached to paper that was on a circular piece of cardboard; the embroidery does not go through the paper.

Cataloging Note

Note

The original tag mentions "Ella Jewel," but it is unclear what that means - based on cursory internet searching, it does not appear to be a person or a historical company. The original tag also claims that it's a handkerchief, which it does not currently appear to be.
