Description
The original embroidery comes from Fjärdingslöv in the Skytt district, and is part of the collections at Trelleborg Museum. It’s embroidered freely and simplistically. The embroidery is marked KJD ANNO 1816. “IF” is embroidered next to both women, which may stand for Fjärdingslöv. The fabric is black. In Swedish, this pattern is called Hanrej, from the German hahnrei, which is the word for a castrated male (rooster). The word is used pejoratively in Danish about men whose wives have cheated on them. The motif of a man riding on a rooster can be found in catchpenny prints, paintings, and a number of wool embroideries.
Embroidered using one-sided satin stitch, stem stitch, split stitch, long and short stitch, and French knots.
