Description
This lanceolate tapestry panel once decorated one corner of a large, rectangular linen cover or hanging. The tips of the lancet shape continued into narrow bars; the bar on the right tip – now lost – connected to a similar lancet motif in the opposite corner of the textile. The bar on the left tip, directed to the fabric’s outer edge, finishes with a leaf motif. The interior of the lancet-shape is decorated with a geometric pattern in a light, subtle design.
