Answer:

Opus Anglicanum

Step-by-step explanation:

"Opus Anglicanum" is a Latin for "English work." It is a needlework used to make masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery. These are expensive and are often used for liturgical purposes, for example, as a cover for shrines. What makes it fine is the use of gold and silver threads that are being stitched into a linen. Most of the production was based in London. These luxury pieces also became popular for "diplomatic gifting," for example, Henry VIII used these items as gifts whenever he visited other countries.
