Some more research on Bands

Well i kept playing with that embroidered band, and this is it with 1 movie's worth of work on it.

I have a whole other page of more "floral" patterns but i still need to scan them up. The top three are perhaps my favourites. Sorry i havn't had time to date them all with sources, but they are all pretty much copies from various books i have.

This one reminds me of the Bayeux tapestry, just a little....
