Bayeux Harold Crowned Plaque
Reproduced from a scene found on the Bayeux tapestry. The Bayeux Tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070's by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. It is over 70 meters long and although it is called a tapestry it is in fact an embroidery, stitched not woven in woollen yarns on linen. Some historians argue that it was embroidered in Kent, England. The original tapestry is on display at Bayeux in Normandy, France.
