  2. The picture you have labeled 1200 embroidered buckskin is in reality part of a silk stocking embroidered in Opus Anglicanum. "Made by the middle of the thirteenth century, the small fragment shows silver-gilt and silk thread embroidery in underside couching, stem stitch and split stitch. The ground material is in silk, and may have been imported from the Mediterranean." https://trc-leiden.nl/trc-needles/individual-textiles-and-textile-types/religious-vestments-and-other-textiles/pontifical-stockings-in-opus-anglicanum
