This Beiderwand woven panel features green wool and ivory linen woven in a religious pattern depicting "The Good Samaritan". While in good condition, it does have several holes on the surface woven layer, one slice near the lower left corner, and a few small areas with staining. Measuring 63 inches by 35 inches (160 cm x 89 cm), 'Beiderwand' refers to a compound weave structure that combines warp-faced plain weave with weft-face plain weave, alternating throughout the woven piece. The characteristic vertically running ribs are typical of this weave structure, initially utilized by weavers of Dutch, Huguenot, Danish, and German descent.
