I don't know what Graham will have to say on the matter, but, IMO, there is little what we can say about 'regional styles of embroidery' in the Late Empire. First, we haven't got enough information available. Second, what we have seems to point towards a wide diffusion of the same patterns inside the Empire.<br>
Third, it was not 'embroidery' it was 'tapestry weaving'<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
