Morning Modelbuch (11/20/2018)

Linen and wool textile fragment from Italy dated between 1550-1600. https://risdmuseum.org/art-design/collection?search_api_fulltext=06.253&op=

The pattern matches one of Peter Quentel’s from Ein New Kunstlich Modelbuch 1544. The edges have been softened from star to a flower, but there are plenty of 8 petalled flowers in Quentel as well. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354658
