Textile (Sweden), 1796

Dark blue wool ground embroidered in coarse outline and filling stitches in polychrome wool yarns. The large central medallion has an interlace pattern inside a stylized floral wreath. Above this are a reindeer and horse and rider, and below it a pendant framing the initials “JHJD.” A medallion in each corner contains a stylized floral pattern, and there is a continuous scrolling border around the four sides. The date 1796 appears near the lower edge.
