This full size Afghan tapestry design is based on the 19th c. artwork by Kajetan S. Wolski at a time when Poland was partitioned by Russia, Prussia and Austria. His art was published in the form of postcards and played an important role in  
maintaining Polish patriotism.  It features the Polish eagles of six Polish kings surrounding Wawel castle in Krakow.

Jacquard weave is used to produce patterned fabrics. The intricate patterns or figures are created all over the fabrics. It is woven on a jacquard loom. This type of loom differs with standard looms. It has a jacquard attachment or a punch card. In a jacquard loom, the warp yarn is individually controlled and not in groups. This allows creating more complex designs.

Jacquard weave was invented by a Frenchman named Joseph Marie Jacquired. Fabrics of jacquard weave are costly because it involves more time and skill in making the Jacquard cards to produce new patterns. Moreover the weaving operation is also very slow.
