Empress Kneels Before Saint Martin
A roundel with a diameter of 15.5 cm with embroidery carried out in the or nué tradition, popular in the Netherlands in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, is housed, among other or nué examples, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It dates to the early fifteenth century and shows two scenes from the medieval legendary story of Saint Martin. The embroidery is carried out in silk and silver thread on a linen background.
