Desiring a lighter, airier quality, an openwork background was created by using a tight wrapping stitch on a plain woven linen fabric, leaving the unaltered cloth as the decorative element. The figural subject matter relates to the story of St. George and the Dragon, suggesting that this strip was created for a religious vestment or parament. Sicily, Europe
