Embroidered silk with raised gold thread. According to the label, created by M. Stadelmann & Co. of St. Gallen, Switzerland and imported to New York. The silk employs a "stag pattern" popular in the late 19th and early 20th century popular among Western European textile manufacturers, e.g. Krefeld. A revival of 14th c. Lucca silk textile patterns, it is inspired by Psalm 42, "As the deer (stag) longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, Oh my God."
