A large, antique, Berlin type woolwork embroidery panel with a religious scene of Moses in the Bulrushes which shows the finding of Moses by the Pharaoh's daughter. It is also known by the titles: The Finding of Moses, or Moses Saved from the Waters. It was a popular art subject matter. The Egyptian princess and her attendants are seated and standing by a river around the baby Moses. Classical buildings appear in the distance with a sphinx garden statue on a pedestal by the princess to reference Egypt.

Width 87 cms (34 inches)

Tapestry on wooden frame support.

Some of the wool has worn away in places (see photos) could be restored or accepted as part of its age and history.

Can be collected from Camberwell, London SE5

  Just avoided being overcharged in Superdrug, Peckham. Half price price on the shelves, but not half price at the till. If I'd been buying loads of things I might not have noticed
