Embroidered cushion. A noble hunter is portrayed on horseback, with a falcon on his arm. The smaller-scale human figure on the haunches of his steed would suggest he is connected to St George, the protector of Hellenism. From Lefkada, Ionian Islands, 17th-18th c. Gift of Panayiotis Lidorikis (ΓΕ 6268)
