The Keepsake by Kate Elizabeth Bunce | Woven Tapestry Wall Art Hanging | Depiction of 'The Staff and Scrip' by Dante Gabriel Rossetti | 100% Cotton USA Size 82x53

Completed in 1901, The Keepsake by Kate Bunce is based on Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s poem The Staff and Scrip. The Staff and Scrip is a heroic, romantic tale of a pilgrim who finds himself in a land ruled by Queen Blanchelys. The pilgrim is shocked by the state of this land and is told in the first stanza that the villainous Duke Luke has ‘harried them’. The pilgrim makes his way to Queen Blanchelys, falls in love with her, and vows to defeat Duke Luke. In the course of defeating Duke Luke, the pilgrim loses his life. His staff and scrip are kept by the Queen — hung over her bed as a tragic and romantic keepsake. Our artisans have masterfully woven this original masterpiece into a stunning fine wall tapestry, capturing all the richness and beauty of the artist’s vision.
