The Galla Palacidia Throw

An original and unique crocheted coverlet, or throw. The pattern is inspired by the 5th century mosaics at the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, Italy.


The coverlet measures 105 x 155 cms and took six months to complete. It is crocheted in mixed fibre yarns, mostly sourced from charity shops. Backed with rich blue cotton velvet, it has hand-made cotton tassels at each corner, and weighs 2.1 kg.
