Silk velvet with repeating composition of two young men flanking cypress trees by ponds, the field semé with flowering stems. Technical analysis Foundation weave: 5 end satin, decochement 3 by 1 and 2 wefts. Warp: 2 warps: 1 foundation warp, 1 pile warp. Proportion: 6 foundation warps to 1 pile warp. Foundation warp: Material: silk, Z twist, yellow. Thread count: Not possible as the reverse was not accessible Velvet Warp: Silk. Not possible to determine the twist. The colours are: gold/yellow, green, blue, red, white, black, and apricot. It is assumed that the black pile warp predominates and the other colours introduced when needed in channels. According to an analysis of an identical piece by Reath, this velvet employs the pile warp substitution method for introducing colour (Reath, 1937). Weft: Proportion: Not possible to determine. Foundation wefts: Material: silk, yellow, Z twist. Alternately single and double Thread count: not possible to determine Supplementary wefts: Not possible to determine but would expect to see a supporting weft on the back as the velvet warps are not visible on the obverse under the satin foundation. Supplementary Metal Wefts: Material: silk core, yellow and white, S twist. Metal threads wrapped around silk core in S direction. Thread count: not possible as the reverse was not accessible. Selvedge: N/A Description: Cut, voided velvet. Two men holding a flower to their nose, either side of a cypress tree. Each row of men alternates.
