Notes
Square panel from a linen cloth faced with long loops, tapestry-woven in coloured wools and undyed linen thread. A jewelled cross in orange and yellow, with a blue or green bird in each angle, enclosed within a circle outlined in purple. Leaf ornament in red in the spandrels. The warp threads of the linen ground are grouped together, generally in twos, sometimes in threes, to form the warps for the tapestry. The weft threads of the ground pass behind the square, without being interwoven with the warp.
