| Silk purse with pewter frame. |
The string is made from a finger-loop braid pattern c.1475-1630. Both it and the tassels used size FF beading silk from Fire Mountain Gems. The frame came from Billy and Charlie's Finest Quality Pewter Goods.* Though I do not know the original piece the frame is based on, it resembles some late medieval (14th-15th century) frames, including a few that seem to edge into the 16th century.
*Look them up on Facebook for more pictures and an up-to-date selection. I was impressed by their speedy customer service.
