Merklap of woolen musseline on which is embroidered with silk in cross stitches Sara van der Heide and Anno 1682, flowers and fruits, Sara van der Heide (Possible), 1682 Layout: In horizontal rows but not completed. Striking is the use of salmon rose silk, a color that was also in fashion for fabrics. The large mid -motif shows four large violet -colored pomegranates, placed against the square. The ripe pomegranate shows many seeds and the fruit therefore became the symbol of fertility. Amsterdam (possibly) Cloth: Wool. Embroidery: Silk embroidering Layout: In horizontal rows but not completed
