Variuos theories have been advanced to explain the technique, ranging from the use of some form of padding (string, straw?) later removed to produce the raised effect, to the result of washing, with differential shrinkage between linen and silk, causing the stitching to become more prominent as the linen thightened. The stylized leaf, flower pot and ewer motifs, worked seperately, are equally characteristic of Rhodes. reference term-106400 adlib-term-106400 3e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d8 18th Century reference term-15226 adlib-term-15226 c39bc5c7-df38-3488-99ed-2de59a28b8db literal Greece Greece country Rhodes embroidery reference term-118722 adlib-term-118722 4f4800f9-d84e-3f97-a3d0-d00e18216dea silk ground reference term-115028 adlib-term-115028 556ae598-ff6b-3a23-86fc-6ca6ee348f2c linen Length cm 218.5 Width cm 110 reference term-73196 adlib-term-73196 e9da56a3-65af-337a-afdf-a80bc5317280 bed valance category Greek Island Embroidery reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum 12 reference publication-4928 adlib-publication-4928 6a9981ab-49e6-30a4-ab6d-9c0246d9a31c Embroideries from Epirus and the Greek islands
