A mid-fifteenth-century Netherlandish embroidery that translates the Annunciation into shimmering threadwork and textile surface.
The object is important not only as an image of a sacred episode but as evidence of the nué embroidery tradition, where metallic thread creates depth, radiance, and painterly richness.
The work highlights religious embroidery as a living chain of material skill, iconography, and ceremonial use.
