I've charted it for inclusion in my forthcoming book (both the main design and the acorn border). The biggest differences between this version and the Hermitage piece are that the other one is a single strip, rather than a 4-sided composition; and that the other one has a voided ground in a secondary color. The museum tags it as being 17th century, Italian: http://hermitagemuseum.org/wps/portal/hermitage/digital-collection/11.+Textiles%2C+Tapestry/263398/?lng=en kbsalazarhttp://string-or-nothing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426331239878441437.post-70977618465999715282016-08-04T09:28:21.836-04:002016-08-04T09:28:21.836-04:00Lovely piece!
