Reader-built field atlas
A motif names what thread depicts. A complete object beside a close detail shows where direction, density, relief and open ground make that motif physically legible.
Frame 1
The complete object with its edges, scale and use visible
Frame 2
A sharp detail from the same object showing thread direction, density, relief or exposed ground
What the note must add
Name the object, maker or workshop, material, place and date only when a label or first-hand record supports them. Separate what the thread visibly does from regional attribution, symbolic meaning and anything the missing reverse cannot prove.
Submissions remain private until East Moment reviews the rights, specificity and usefulness of the record.
These are East Moment editorial records built from authorized or rights-cleared imagery. They are not reader submissions and do not count toward the public record total.
Two public-domain Met photographs make different reading scales available: a complete elongated chair strip establishes object shape, while a separate embroidered badge makes changes in metallic thread, silk direction and dense coverage easier to inspect.
The first approved record will keep the whole object and its thread behavior together. An isolated motif or an unsupported regional label cannot complete the Atlas.
