Ehret die Frauen – Marianne Stokes

From: £2.00

A medieval-style tapestry inspired by and illustrating a verse by Schiller praising the feminine virtues.  The Gothic lettering at the top says “Ehret die frauen sie flechten und weben/ himmlische rosen ins irdische leben”. “Honor to the women, they braid and weave/ heavenly roses into earthly life.” From left to right, the figures represent Protection (Schutz) – a woman in armor; Nurture (Pflege) – a mother giving a bowl of milk to a wild little boy wearing only a skin; Love (Liebe) – a mother nestling a baby in her arms; Wisdom (Wissen) – a woman holding a lantern and a hornbook up to a child in a hooded cloak; and Fidelity (Treue) – a woman in chain mail.  The background is rose vines and other flowers on blue with a border of laurel leaves. (1912) This pattern is solidly stitched. Any color fabric may be used.
