Fragment of a woven fabric
In 1557 the Chinese authorities gave the Portuguese permission to establish themselves on Macau, an island in the estuary of the Pearl River in southeast China. For centuries this was the only European settlement on the Chinese mainland. Commissioned luxury goods were made there. The Catholic Order of Saint Augustine in Spain and Portugal used the motif of a double-headed eagle. They ordered this fabric for their vestments, and other accessories.
