Textiles in Antique Christian Art

The  mind directs the vision.

And so at the Met Museum NYC, I could not help but notice the textiles on the beautiful old artefacts of the Christian world of the 1300s – 1500s.

A few photos:

What were the textiles shown? Brocades? Embroidery? Applique?

A Merry Christmas to All!
