A large fabric wall panel entitled "Příroda A Poesie" (Nature & Poetry) by Praha-based artist, Eva Bridjskaová, in 1970. It features a full moon behind golden leafy stems on a mottled blue ground.

It was made by Vlněna, a socialist textile enterprise in Brno, Czechoslovakia, producing woollen fabrics, using a novel technology called Art Protis - a kind of "painting" with a woollen fleece, which was laid in layers on the base. After the artistic image was completed, the entire surface was stitched at regular intervals with a fine thread. The technique won several awards, for example at the World's Fair in Montreal in 1967 and the World's Fair in Osaka in 1970.

The bottom right of the image features Bridjskaová's butterfly-like 'EB' monogram, and is fully documented to the back, signed in pen by the artist, and marked as an artist's proof (113/AP).

There are stitched loops along the top edge for hanging on a pole or length of timber.
