From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tapestry of Creation or Girona Tapestry is a Romanesque panel of needlework from the 11th century, housed in the Museum of the Cathedral of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.[1] Measuring 3.65 m × 4.70 m (12.0 ft × 15.4 ft) of wool and linen, contemporary scholars are still debating its patronage and intended function in the Church.[1][2][3] It is organized in concentric circles surrounded by a border depicting a series of theological scenes related with the Christian creation myths as well as a description of the yearly calendar.[1][2][3] The righthand border and bottom third of the fabric is lost, but it is believed that the missing sections held a continuation of the months as well as a space describing the discovery of the True Cross.[2][1]
