A short article by Marian Hague comparing four small Italian 14th-century embroidered panels (three in Judge Irwin Untermyer's collection, one belonging to the author) with the large altar frontal signed by Geri Lapi of Florence at Manresa, Spain. It describes the technique: split stitch for figures and faces, satin stitch for tree sprays, and metal thread couched over linen-floss padding on the backgrounds. It also notes related panels from the Iklé set in the Lehman collection and the Cleveland Museum, and asks about Lapi's workshop. Most pages are photographs of panels and details, including the Adoration, Noli me tangere, Flight into Egypt, Three Marys at the Sepulchre and the Resurrection.
