Embroidery chart by Christian Egenolff. 1535. Germany. The Met Museum accession number: 33.69(4r)
I really like the zig-zag and sort of trefoils of this pattern. The chart really strongly reminds me of a Mamluk pattern currently residing in the Ashmolean. I'm not sure what I'd use this on though as the best effect would come from repeating the pattern which would create quite a wide band.
