Lace runner. Textile is made from fine cotton thread, light tan in colour. Three hunting scenes are shown, with details made from closely woven lace and a background of small openwork diamonds. From left to right, the scenes show a man leading his horse through a forest, dogs at his side; two deer resting amongst trees; and finally a deer strung up and carried by two men. The scenes area surrounded by a wide openwork lace boarder suggesting foliage and flowers.
