For the second day of Christmas, here is a 16th century German embroidered net panel at the Met with Madonna and Child. Accession Number: 06.577. I thought seeing the different styles of angels was interesting, particularly as several of the figures were flipped and repeated, but different types are still used. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/212798
