A joined embroidered hanging, couched in polychrome floss silks on a plain woven ground, the whole composed of four rectangles each with a central flower surrounded by stylised carnations and peonies on a yellow ground surrounded by a blue-ground border of lotus flowers and scrolling foliage. For a similar piece, see the collection of the Museu do �spirito Santo, Lisbon. Framed and backed by more recent cotton and wool backings. Good condition, with the small "bald" wear areas near the top and bottom not affecting the overall aesthetics. 54"x 76".
