EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry cushion cover depicting the biblical story of Susannah led to Judge. Believed to be part of a set of six Sheldon Tapestries, this particular piece was made in Sheldon, England during the 16th century. Crafted from wool, it is a testament to the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of that era. The image portrays Susannah, a virtuous woman from the Old Testament, being escorted by a group towards an imposing judge. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life, capturing the viewer's imagination. Housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland, this tapestry cushion cover is an invaluable artifact that offers insight into both English history and textile artistry. Its presence evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonder as we contemplate its journey through time. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of its significance within religious narratives and how it serves as a visual representation of stories passed down through generations. The inclusion of strong female characters like Susannah adds depth and complexity to these tales.
