fun fact:


digital description:


wall description:
This panel is likely from a christening mantle, a decorative shawl or cape worn during the
 procession at a christening. This example features radiant gold thread enhanced with eight vibrant
 colors of shiny silk thread that create a delicate
 pattern of blossoms issuing from ornate stems.
 The decoration forms the main field and two end
 sections bordered by foliate motifs.
