Summary
One of five well-preserved or conserved petit-point (floral) sprigs, worked in coloured silks on canvas ground over paddding, with red felt backing and white silk thread surround. NOTE: 07/12/2006 Confusion with numbering, packets labelled T/297/307. Only two appear to be T/297 with black velvet on the reverse, pansy (?) and pink(?). Gros-point flowers don't appear to belong to either group. Seven sprays found, cowslip, hazel, 2 x primrose, Tudor rose and honeysuckle.
