I got a query about a picture I took of an embroidered slip at the
Victoria & Albert Museum last year.  As fate would have it, I was in
Bath at the time, so I could neither check the label I photographed
nor pop into the V&A.  Now that I'm home, I've checked the info I
have, but it only says "embroidered slip, silks on canvas, yadda
yadda".  No clue what kind of fruit (berry, I think) it's meant to
depict, but the shape of the leaf is distinct enough that a
knowledgeable person might be able to tell.  Link to closeup photo
below.  Anyone? Bueller?
