Belonging to the church of Saint Gereon in Cologne, now shared by the museums of Lyons, Nuremberg, and South Kensington. Large circular medallions represent a winged griffin with eagle above and bull below. The design is clearly of Byzantine origin, but the crudeness of the weave indicates an Occidental maker.
As buyers have variable requirement we prefer to discuss the needed lenght personaly after you will choose the width and make the order. We also try to cut the fabric by whole medallions.
We reconstruct fabrics basing on historical sources / designs.
