 The Dossal. 
 
 Messrs. Morris & Company were entrusted with the fine embroidered altar hangings presented to 
 Westminster Abbey at the Coronation as part of Their Majesties' oblation, and used during the ceremony. 
 The hangings are based upon an old Frontal and Dossal belonging to Chipping Camden church, of fifteenth 
 century design and workmanship, and the style of the original as well as the extreme fii.eness of stitch have been 
 followed in the embroideries. The Dossal contains figures df Edward the Confessor and St. John disguised as 
 a pil'grim, illustrating the legend of the Coronation ring. In the lower corners are represented kneeling figures 
 of the King and Queen as donors. The Frontal contains as centre a Crucifixion group closely modelled on that 
 in the Syon Cope, and at the sides shields supported by angel figures and bearing on the right (heraldically) 
 the Royal Arms, and on the left the reputed arms of Edward the Confessor. The figures were designed by 
 Prof. Lethaby and his pupils of the Royal College of Art. The silk, copied from the original, was woven on the 
 St. Edmondsbury looms at Letchworth. The embroidery, in fine floss silks and real gold, was executed by 
 Morris & Company's most skilled workers, and occupied several month^
