Cultivated , the golden orb ....as we know it was used to provide the " cross hairs" in ww2 bomb sites!!
One of the fine Italian weavers cultivated and harvested sufficient strands of web...filaments...to weave an increadibly intricate piece of cloth ...... as a 'Masterpiece'......about a metre long and maybe forty cm. wide with amazing patterning in the weave. Strength/weight is outstanding.
