Off-white with multicolor stitching table run. The entire runner is edged with lace and has mirrored images on each side. The center of the runner, on the edge, is decorated with a pink saucer shape, which has a crisscross pattern all over. On the inner point, there is a red flower. There is a red line coming off of the curved part of the saucer and moving towards the end of the runner. There is also a pink line parallel to it moving in the same direction. The red line stops about eight inches from the end, where it runs into a blue string which creates three half-oval shapes. Within the top of the ovals, there is another saucer shaper: the two ends have blue saucers and the middle has a red one. Also, the blue saucers have white flowers with a pink center. The red has a purple flower with a pink center. Directly above the blue stitching is an image of a bird (pink with a redhead) sitting on an island (purple and pink outlining). There is a tree at the top of the island which is outlined in white and has a few yellow lines to show the bark. The branches are in multiple colors: purple, blue, green, white, yellow, and cream. Sitting next to the tree is a flower which is outlined in green and each peddle is stitched with a different color: pink, red, yellow, purple, and white.

Handmade in Greece. Possible that this would have been brought over as a part of a dowry.
