Hi Jill,
No physical evidence! If you look at the Bayeaux Tapestry the designs =
seem to be set into arcades and circles.(on the robes of Will and other =
such dignitaries) This could, of course, not be embroidery at all, but a =
representation of Byzantine silk appliqued onto the cloth.
Strangely enough, the Oseberg embroideries are set in circles, with =
animal figures in them, to me very reminiscent of the Trewhiddle style. =
They are said to be influenced by A.S art styles.
Must stop now and go to work!
Cheers,
Hazel
