Long narrow needlepoint hanging featuring 42 circle designs of multiple varied colors created by stitching colored synthetic yarns through a stiff cotton buckram backing. The circles are arranged three across the width (with some overlapping) and 14 down the length of the hanging. A sense of three dimensionality is achieved with shading of the designs, thus dividing each circle into four quadrants and also creating large overlapping triangular areas of darker colors throughout. The hanging has straight borders on all sides formed of multiple colors of yarn stitched in straight lines. The edges are finished with stitches around the cut buckram backing.
