An encyclopedia article surveying embroidery from prehistoric skin decoration through the early twentieth century. It traces the history by region (Near East, Greece, Rome, Byzantium, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, France, England, and the Orient), citing notable surviving pieces such as the Syon cope. It closes with a short account of tools and principal stitches (cross, tent, chain, buttonhole, satin, couching, appliqué) and a bibliography.
