The Flora tapestry by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, 1885. Flora, goddess of abundance, personifies summer, standing barefoot in flowing garments with a wreath in her hair. She holds fresh flowers in her hand, with an intricate floral background. Inspired by the Medieval decorative technique known as Mille Fleurs (thousand flowers), it demonstrates the artists' admiration for pre-Renaissance art. The tapestry is also inscribed with verse, beautifully rendered in Gothic type
