- Description
- This panel is embellished with bobbin lace and silk embroidery. The woven center is decorated with embroidery, drawn thread work and needle weaving. It is bordered with gold and silver (?) bobbin lace insertions and edging. The lace is worked with threads made of strips of metal foil wrapped around an un-spun silk core in an S-twist, indicating 17th century. The salmon colored satin stitch silk embroidery alternates with the same geometric motif in gold foil wrapped silk thread. There is a tassel in one corner and the remnant of a tassel in the opposite corner.
