| | Spot Motif REPRODUCTION SAMPLER |
 | | Many of these motifs have symbolic and/or heraldic significance, and they can be traced directly from the drawings in Peter Stent's pattern books, published in England in the mid seventeenth century. |
 | | Almost identical to drawings in Stent are the various creepy-crawlies (snails, caterpillars, wasps, moths), the speckled Lillies of the Mountaine, the columbine, the ape (a symbol of mischief as well as the sense of taste), A Tulipa, and more. |
 | | Like the original, it is executed entirely in tent stitch (petit point), in a palette of 34 colors, and the reproduction measures almost exactly the same size as the original. |
