Wool

A cushion cover woven as a pastoral scene: a seated figure in a rose-pink coat plays a pipe beneath a tree, surrounded by grazing sheep, a dog, a distant flock of birds, and a rolling blue-green landscape with a mountain horizon. The surround is filled with a dense scrolling pattern of dark brown, cream, and rust foliate forms, and the piece finishes with twisted cord edging and tasseled corners in muted brown and tan tones. The palette throughout is soft - dusty rose, sage green, cream, and umber - typical of a worn pictorial ground.

Un-dyed Tinagac Tupos fiber and cotton threads.

Cut and pile technique, 2 levels, bleached New Zealand wool and Ash wool with border.

A cushion worked with a pictorial scene of a shepherd figure in a red tunic and blue-green kilt standing in a pastoral landscape with grazing sheep, a dog, and a slender tree, set against a pale sky in blues and pinks. The composition is framed within an irregular cartouche of scrolling foliate and rocaille forms in cream and taupe, bordered by a plain dark ground, with a twisted cord edging in muted greens and tan and a tassel at each corner.

A square cushion worked in a repeating band pattern of stylized paired birds or wings rendered in soft blue against an ivory ground, the motifs arranged in horizontal registers separated by narrow striped bands. The edge is finished with a knotted trim and a heavy fringe of twisted blue and white tassels running continuously around all four sides. The overall palette stays within a narrow range of powder blue and cream, with slight tonal variation among the tassels themselves.
