Although fragmentary, enough of this textile survives to allow for a proper reconstruction. The composition is centered on two repeating bands in one of which the design consists of a row of three-lobed leaves with split palmettes in the interstices, a motif that is commonly found on architecture and other decorative arts

This year the Abegg-Stiftung, in Riggisberg, Switzerland opens its doors to the public from 27th April to 9th November 2014. In addition to a new special exhibition called 'Veil and Adornment. Medieval Textiles and the Cult of Relics' the permanent exhibition, newly interpreted some two and a half years ago, is always worth travelling to see.

Journalist Saima Mir posted to Twitter this 'map of Pakistan showing the embroidery techniques of its regions.' And, sure enough, it led to someone surfacing a corresponding map of Pakistan's neighbor, India. The underlying message of the maps?
