View through Harvard Museums
This hanging panel is made from a cope orphrey and has five sections depicting from top to bottom: Saint Elizabeth and Saint John the Baptist (or the Virgin and Christ Child); Saint Peter; Saint Andrew; Saint Paul; Saint Bartholomew The figures sit on stone benches under archways in landscapes; above each arch is a pedestal supporting a low fruit-filled vase. Each of the five panel sections is framed with twisted cord galloons. The faces are embroidered using split stitches to create "needle painting". Chain stitches and "or nué" (shaded gold) are also employed. A later backing fabric is used of red cotton satin.
