Materials
linen (warps), wool (wefts), 6 warp threads per cm, 2 ply S
Place
Alsace, Strasbourg (possibly) (place of manufacture)
Description
Wool tapestry fragment intended to imitate the appearance of more precious textiles. The spacing of the palmettes and pineapple devices is closest to a silk damask pattern, although the lighter patches in the dark green areas convincingly create an illusion of the deep, rich, light-reflecting pile of a cut silk velvet. Part of the Burrell Collection.
