Notes A print from one of two books of prints with animals owned by the Queen and used as models for some of her embroideries. The author of prints in the first book entitled Avium Vivae Icones was Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder. It contains a series of 12 model book prints depicting exotic and domestic birds, originally created before 1567. Phoenix depicted on dalmatic I from the so-called Royal Set preserved in the Monastery was modelled on one of the prints from this book - the page with phoenix was torn from the Queen's book. Also the pecking bird from dalmatic I was modelled on one of Gheeraerts' prints.
