Physical Description

A heavy linen border with a design of stylized peacocks worked in broad chain, eyelets and a variety of drawn thread fillings. One edge is crenelated. The ground fabric is natural, hand-woven linen and the embroidery appears to have been worked in the same thread. The design and embroidery style suggests that this piece is from Russia.
