Dear Kristen,
Your embroidery is made in china in first half / mid 20th century. Its partly machine made I believe. Its a buddhist scenery with a central buddha figure. Not sure what the scenery represents maybe a story or poem about the buddhism life. Its decorative and made for export to the west. My estimation is based on the decorative value and the interest in buddhist theme's in general.
