Burgundian Lady, from a tapestry
in the Metropolitan Museum Of Art NYC
photo taken By Grizel in 1996 (Metropolitan
Museum of Art)
Please
excuse the bad quality the shot, I did my best to make
it better. But it was in Large dark hall a we could
no use flash on the camera, obviuosly because of the
sensitivity of the dyes on the yarns. Or So they said,
the Smithsonian the year before let us flash all we
wanted outside of the watercolor halls. I figure The
Smithsonian knows it's buisness better than about anyone
, but whatever.This is a huge padded roll hennan with
side caps, and a lyrepipe and dagged tips. This pictures
also shows a two strand twisted pearls or bead necklace
with a cross of pearls at the center.
Big and bold
necklaces seem to be the norm for the burgundian period.
