介绍（中）	这张被罩通过两层亚麻布绣有花朵和卷轴图案。整体图案显示了中央的花藤和小枝，带有蜿蜒的花藤边界。刺绣包含长针和十字绣，以及通过两层从开口边缘绑定的结和孔眼针。上层细亚麻布在刺绣图案周围被切掉，露出下层较粗的亚麻布。较细的上层仍然存在于刺绣区域。被罩由三块缝合在一起的窄亚麻布板组成。虽然这件作品带着在肯塔基州拥有的家族历史来到博物馆，但它的风格如此复杂，刺绣精美，似乎很可能是在英国或爱尔兰制作的，也许是被带到或送给捐赠者的肯塔基州亲属。因为它的首字母和1795年的日期在中心，所以它可能是一个新娘被罩。
介绍（英）	This coverlet is embroidered in patterns of flowers and scrolls through two layers of linen. The overall pattern shows central floral vines and sprigs, with a meandering floral vine border. The embroidery contains long stitches and cross stitches as well as knots and eyelet stitches binding off the edges of openings through the two layers. The upper layer of fine linen has been cut away around the embroidered motifs, leaving the exposed under layer of coarser linen. The finer upper layer is still present within the embroidered areas. The coverlet is made up of three narrow panels of linen that have been seamed together. Although this piece came to the Museum with a family history of being owned in Kentucky, it is so stylistically sophisticated and finely embroidered that it seems likely to have been made in England or Ireland, and perhaps brought or sent over to the Kentucky relatives of the donors. Because it features linked initials and the date 1795 at the center, it may have been a bridal coverlet.
