A square panel embroidered by May Morris. According to the object page on the William Morris Gallery website, "the overall design is worked in split, long, short and satin stich in silks on a gauze background. The outer border of the roundel is inscribed with the opening lines of Robert Herrick’s (1591-1674) poem ‘Welcome, maids of honour, you do bring in the Spring and wait upon her,’ worked in Gothic lettering. Four birds with outstretched wings are placed in the four corners." And there are flowers and leaves embroidered in the center of the roundel.

Did you know that May Morris, William’s daughter, is the one responsible for creating most of these designs? Yep! Not a widely known fact. May was involved in progressive causes in UK politics about gender and class inequity. May designed in embroidery and wallpaper too. #MayMorris #KaffeFassett
