HNW - Anglo-Saxon Embroidery

[Ben]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know of any surviving pieces of Anglo-Saxon embroidery or 
decorative stitching other than the St Cuthbert textiles, the Maaseik 
textiles and the Bayeux Tapestry.

Also, does anyone have any information on how early the Anglo-Saxons 
started to embroider things.  All the examples I can think of come 
from the Christian period.  Does anyone know of any 
examples/references from the pagan period.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
Waes thu hael
