Needlework

Most of the tombs appear to date from the fifth and sixth centuries, a time when Britain was a patchwork quilt of dozens of small kingdoms

Legend has it that the intricate needlework used in embroidery known as "Lefkaritiko" lace was of such high quality that Leonardo Da Vinci himself bought a tablecloth when he visited this mountainous village in the late 15th century and gifted it to Milan's cathedral.

Galerie Michael Schultz in Berlin is hosting an exhibition by Turkish artist Ahmet Güneştekin.
