Notes
This light-weight silk may have been used as a summer furnishing fabric and also as a dress fabric. The small-scale pattern of wavy parallel stems, very fashionable in the 17th century, includes hyacinths and rose buds and small pomegranate fruit which have split open to reveal their ripening seeds.
