Advent calendar 2 December 2017

Our second calendar post is an embroidery. This one is also from an unknown Swedish church.
Here we can see a close up on the double running stitch in blue and red silk, forming 
 a geometrical pattern, on the linen background.
The embroidery is dated late 15th century- early 16th century.
Now in collections of Historiska museet, Sweden.
