However the motifs are joined rather than seperate as in typical Rhodian work and are stylistically closer to border patterns associated with nearby Nisyros. The use of insertion stitch to join the two faces of the cover and the small tassels is also typical of Nisyros. reference term-106853 adlib-term-106853 25492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f3415 19th Century reference term-118842 adlib-term-118842 7533bb4a-2a7d-314b-abc6-26a9e434a80c literal Greece Greece country possibly Nisyros Nisyros embroidery reference term-118722 adlib-term-118722 4f4800f9-d84e-3f97-a3d0-d00e18216dea silk ground reference term-113225 adlib-term-113225 a77e3552-d09b-38e7-a458-61f286e752fa cotton Length cm 57 Width cm 41 reference term-118789 adlib-term-118789 d59a146d-61eb-3cf9-b862-d1928075de3e cushion cover 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
