I needed a “map” of the Bacton Altar Cloth so that I could communicate with others about which of the original floral motifs we wanted to discuss. I have not assigned numbers to the secondary embroidery that was added later – the animals, insects, trees, and other smaller figures squeezed between the original motifs – only to the professionally embroidered flowering and fruiting plants.
Here is the same image without the numbers over the motifs:
Numbers were assigned starting with the top left side of the front panel and then following it across the rows and down, as if reading a block of text. Then I numbered the top panel, then the right side, then the left side, and last the rear panel.
