The syringe has a thin dark needle, a barrel filled with teal medicine with four white scale marks down its left side, a dark grey stopper, an empty white lower barrel, and a grey finger flange, plunger rod and thumb rest. The vial has a red cap on a grey collar, clear glass above and teal medicine below. No lettering, numbers or cross are drawn. Dark brown outline. A piece for a card or a small hoop. Full crosses only. It is 28 by 36 stitches and uses six thread colors.
