Question

A work made using this technique features an inverted black triangle above a depiction of Christ in Majesty with an orb inscribed with the words Europe, Africa, and Asia; that work is the John of Thanet Panel. Colorful images are couched against a gold background in a Flemish form of this technique called or nué (“noo-AY”). The Butler–Bowden Cope is an example of the Medieval English style of this technique called opus anglicanum, (-5[1])which was revived in opposition the Berlin-style work by William and May (*) Morris. A misnamed (-5[1])work made using this technique (10[1])depicts scenes from Aesop’s fables on its border, while its central narrative includes an attack on Conan (-5[1])II (-5[1])of Brittany. Despite its name, the crewel form of this technique was actually used to make the Bayeux Tapestry rather than weaving. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this technique of using needle (10[1])and thread (-5[1])to (10[1])decorate textiles. ■END■ (10[5]0[2])
