Tapestry woven in wool and silk on cotton, and showing an allegory of America. In the centre foreground a snake rears above a chest of jewels is surrounded by fruits and flowers. Behind are draped two flags, one is the Star and Stripes of which only a part is visible, and the Flag of the Republic of Haiti with a central device of a palm tree surmounted by a Cap of Liberty. Exotic birds and insects fly among the background plants, cactus and a type of palm tree.
The border, in stone colours, has a sill carved with a dolphin at the lower edge, fluted pilasters at the sides, and an arch decorated with grotesque masks.
Apart from the deep vibrant red in the flag, birds and flowers, the tonality of the tapestry is subdued with pale creams, greens and browns.
Woven in wool and silk on cotton warp, 16 to 21 warp threads to the inch.

Unlike its companion piece, <i>Africa</i>, this tapestry contains a clue to the date of its design. The more prominent flag is that of the Republic of Haiti, recognised by France in 1825. The cartoons are most likely to have been painted shortly after this, during the presidency of Jean-Pierre Boyer under whom the whole island was united from 1822 to 1843. These two tapestries may have been woven later, having cotton warp which was unusual in the first half of the century. [1987-2006] (en)
