plants are ranged along the base of the foreground, while a small bridge is glimpsed on the far banks of a
lake in the background, a plain cream skyline behind.. this delightful vista is expressed in delicately light
pastel verdure color, with some dark brown areas of shade in the foreground. in contrast to this soft tonality,
the lovely border of country flowers is detailed in slightly richer and more overtly multi-colored shades,
including , yellow, gray, cream , and dark green & soft green. the small tapestry of exquisite character,

decorative value. Beyond that, various dyers had varying levels of skill and invested different lengths of time
in dyeing the yarns. The “quality of color’-its radiance and level of nuance within each color-is centrally
