Description

Embroidery fragment of dark green wool with the remains of a bold floral and leaf pattern with coiling stems. The one remaining five petalled flower is of applied white satin couched with yellow cord and with additions of wool embroidery. The coiling stem pattern and leaf outlines consist of couched cord and there are traces of applied pink velvet and green silk which presumably were flowers and leaves. May have formed part of a saddle-cloth. Embroidery fragment of wool, England, 1550-1599
