Needlework has always been an important art for of England. In
the 17th century, a unique style of raised work embroidery was
developed and in its most elaborate form was used to pictorially
embellish decorative boxes used to store one's personal treasures.
This piece, one of the finest of its kind, tells the Old Testament
story of Queen Esther, whose intelligence and diplomacy saved
her people from persecution.
