Embroidered altar cloth, 14th century, from the Abbey church of St Martin's, or upper church, at the Abbaye Saint-Martin-du-Canigou, a Romanesque Benedictine monastery built 1005-9 under Guifred, Count of Cerdanya, on the slopes of the Pic du Canigou, Pyrenees-Orientales, France. The cloth is made from fine linen, with cross stitch embroidery in green, golden and purple silk thread. Tradition states that it was made by Guisla, d. 1018, who founded the abbey with her husband Guifred II, although it is now known to be 14th century. The abbey complex consists of St Mary's or the lower church, and the abbey church of St Martin's or the upper church, and the bell tower. The abbey and the altar cloth are listed as a historic monuments. Picture by Manuel Cohen
