Acquired 1970s-1996. Property of a North American collector. London collection, 2016.
Tapestry technique on natural light yellow wool upon linen. It is highly probable that this tapestry was part of a tunic decoration, a clavus, running vertically on the breast and on the back of it. The decoration conformed to a specific layout with the back mirroring the front. These matching bands, called clavi, ran on either side of the neck. They could be full length or like our specimen, stop above the waistline. -
