Venetian Tapestry

Designed by F. W. Plaistow in the 1950s, the layout is very linear pointing to the design's Venetian origins. A number of Venetian Artists of the 15th Century had a taste for reproducing patterns found in the classical architecture of ancient Rome. The presence of the Griffin is significant - in medieval Christian art, the Griffin denoted Jesus.
