Context:

Large scale pomegranate patterns, of which this panel is an example, were among the most celebrated velvet designs of the 15th century. The extravagant use of gold brocading, three heights of pile (loops of yarn forming the surface of the fabric), and delicate sprinkling of tiny loops in the velvet create a dramatic richness and beauty rarely surpassed in the history of velvet weaving.Such velvets were in demand by the clergy, nobility, and royalty, who used them for garments, hangings, and furnishings.
