- Note
- Purchased at Rag Market in Rome, Italy. Tela Umbra is a weaving studio, textile museum and shop founded in 1908 to conserve the traditional art of Umbrain hand-weaving. They use linen and wool to reproduce Medieval and Renaissance designs. Due to the woolen texture of this textile, it may have come from there. (DLF 2017)
