Table 1 sample textile patterns and their accompanying stories from HdS The stag is a well-known ancient symbol in the Christian church; it depicts the God-loving soul or the souls of those who wish for calm and peace, as documented in the Bible in Psalms 42:1: ‘As the stag pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God’. The stag already played an important role in 13th- and 14th-century ecclesiastical robes. The Eastern influence on pattern design at the time can be seen in the fine imaginative design of the animal motifs and the type of ornaments chosen. | ||
