Millennia Designs: Pegasus Tapestry Kit
The design for this tapestry kit is based on an eighth century fragment of silk serge, formerly in the treasure of the Sancta Sanctorum, where it was used as a cushion for the enamel cross of Pope Paschal (AD 817-824). The highly stylised nature of the design is typical of Byzantine art and textiles. The original is now housed in the Museo Sacro, Vatican, Rome, Italy.
