A lacquered marquetry plaque depicts the Madonna and Child in contrasting honey, amber, and dark wood tones. A geometric parquetry background frames the crowned Madonna's long, angular face and the child held against her shoulder. The reverse carries an inscription that appears to read Filiciano Allre, along with "NBP" and "Rizal", referring to New Bilibid Prison in the Philippines. The plaque has a visible scratch across its center and measures approximately 20" x 16". A gold-tone double-headed-eagle wall plaque has spread wings, multiple crowns, a central shield, and crossed weapons and heraldic details. One framed needlework shows a winged child riding a curling-tailed sea horse or hippocampus against a deep red background, with bright beadwork accenting the figures. The other framed needlepoint depicts the Red Baron's Fokker Dr.I triplane viewed head-on, its red and green wings arranged in three tiers above the stitched aircraft caption.
