Band samplers are composed of horizontal rows ("bands") of embroidered patterns stitched along the linen foundation fabric. Many of the patterns stitched onto band can be traced to sixteenth-century pattern books, and often include depictions of fruit, flowers, and geometric patterns. This sampler is made up of bands of varying heights that feature birds, acorns, pineapples, and a variety of flowers. The bottom of the sampler includes an alphabet consisting of a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters and small, seemingly randomly placed motifs, resembling a spot sampler.
