An embroidered wall hanging, entitled "Aroma" consisting of an abstract/stylized design most likely representing sacks of spices such as are found in Indian marketplaces worked in free-form embroidery on a coarsely woven and processed burlap or jute ground. Embroidery threads are of various sizes, types, and colors, including wool, silk, cotton, linen, jute and mohair threads and yarns, both machine and handspun. Colors include browns, greens, tans, beiges, rust, oranges, blues, grays, golden, and cream, possibly created using natural dyes. The stitches employed used are simple chain stitch held down with one crossing thread; herringbone stitch; possibly knitted and appliquéd patches; (Karasz gives these stitches her own names in her book "Adventures in Stitching"). The hanging is constructed of a single piece of burlap or jute, probably commercially produced. The side edges are selvages. The top and bottom edges are sewn into wooden hanging rods original to the construction.
