An embroidery of a head and neck stitched in blue thread on green cloth. The brain is stitched in back stitch and the vagus nerves in the neck are stitched in chain stitch in perlé thread. The facial nerves are stitched in single strand chain stitch and back stitch. A thin dark purple line entwines the nerve on the forehead and some curved light green lines emanate from the eye.
