Inscriptions:
the embroidery is backed by an old reused parchment with Latin writing over which in Italian is penned an inscription: "This pallioto was embroidered in the year 1486 by the venerable Margherita del Caccia nun of this monastery. . ." [It is difficult to know to what extent one should rely on this inscription as the style and technique both point clearly to an earlier date.]

Context:
Christ and the Virgin are surrounded by St. Anthony Abbot, St. Verdiana, and the Angels, some of whom play instruments: a harp, glittern, shawm, straight trumpet, vielle, and frame drum.In Florence, the most distinguished center of embroidery in Italy during the 14th-15th century, embroideries were sketched by painters and executed by professional embroiderers. This embroidery, judging by the style of the figures, may have been designed by the Florentine painter Paolo Schiavo (active 1430-60).
