Late Sixteenth Century English Needlework
Panel.
This scarce, early needlework of fine silk and wool, is a wonderful example of the decorative pursuits of courtly
Elizabethan women.
The cross stitch panel reveals in beautiful colour, a mythical cockatrice and flying wyvern, amongst over sized marigolds, and foliage. The cockatrice’s beady stare reminding us of their ‘death darting eye’.
