Again a post on Kloster Isenhagen at the southern Luneburger moor in Germany ... and some more treasures of this convent will follow. There are several medieval embroidered tapestries and table cloths on display at Kloster Isenhagen dating from the 14th and early 15th century. Some of the embroideries have so-called brick stitch patterns, geometric patterns of repeated lines that are used to fill or divide parts of the embroidered cloth.
This cloth measures 54 cm with and consists of two fragments that are together more than 2 meter long. It dates form the start of the 15th century and has likely been a cloth for a refectory table. The cloth is made of red linen with embroidered images of angels and saints in silk. The cloth is divided into parts by rows of brick stitch patterns.
Some details from the edges of a linen altar cloth of 1,02 by 2,80 m. Embroidered images of angels, St Paul (with key), female saints, St George killing a dragon, a king and Maria with child in silk.
A brick stitch pattern of the same hanging.
This linen measures 1.61 by 1 m and dates from 1350. Most (silk) embroidered scenes in the middle show animals or have something to do with Christ On the edges of the hanging are alternating (hooded) heads and heraldic shields.
Detail of this linen hanging showing a man wearing the hood in an alternative way.
An wool embroidered cushion for a bank dating between the 14th and 15th century. The wool is embroidered on a linen background. One of three cushions which were found in the church of the convent in 1962.
This is not an embroidered cloth, but a related item. This heavily decorated strip (Furleger in German) was used at the front of the altar as a weight for the (embroidered) altar cloth. It is made of leather and decorated with gilded metal medallions, pearls, silver, coral and pieces of coloured glass. The height is 10 cm.
Another "Furleger" with gilded leather and white eagles and added pearls. The height is 9 cm. Both furleger date from the second half of the fourteenth century.
