EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Embroidered Christening Robe and Mull Cap, created by Ella Josephine Sterling in 1936, is a beautiful example of American folk art from the 20th century. The intricately embroidered robe and cap were designed for use during christenings, a significant religious ritual in Christianity. The robe, made of white fabric, is adorned with delicate embroidery in graphite and watercolor on paper, creating a visually captivating design. The mull cap, or headdress, features a similar embroidered motif, adding an elegant touch to the traditional headgear. Ella Josephine Sterling was a skilled needleworker, and her talent is evident in the meticulous detail and craftsmanship of this piece. The robe and cap were created during the 1930s, a time when American folk art was gaining recognition and appreciation for its unique cultural significance. The Embroidered Christening Robe and Mull Cap are now part of the Index of American Design, a collection housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This important artifact provides a glimpse into the rich heritage of American folk art and the role it plays in our cultural history. The robe and cap are not only beautiful works of art but also serve as a reminder of the traditions and beliefs that have shaped our country's past and continue to influence our present.
