Alynn's "Bayeux Tie" reproduces just a few of the hundreds of historical images memorialized in the original Bayeux Tapestry, a work of embroidery 230 feet long and 20 inches wide. The tapestry is made up of a myriad of images, divided into scenes of a particular event, and then joined in linear sequence to enable the then mostly illiterate population to "read" the entire story of the events which led to William the Conqueror's invasion and conquest of Anglo-Saxon England in 1066. William was subsequently crowned as King of England on Christmas Day, 1066. This yellow necktie is made with 100% silk.
