Opus phrygium occurs in Pliny's Naturalis Historia ("pictae vestes iam apud Homerum sunt iis, et inde triumphales natae acu facere id Phryges invenerunt, ideoque Phrygioniae appellatae sunt.") where he claims Phrygians invented the art of emroidery. Although this claim gets treated as factual there is to this day no proof of its veracity. It has been observed however that late Latin term auriphrygium refered to gold embroidery so it is possible that Opus Phrygium in Pliny's time refered to gold work or some type of embroidery including gold.

This is an embroidery stitch now known as "Kensington stitch" although Semper refers to it as "opus plumarium". Its current name is due to it being revived by the Royal School of Needlework at South Kensington (London, UK) in the second half of the nineteenth century. This stitch is used mainly for embroidering floral motifs, but also other figurative subjects, such as animals, people and landscapes. Source: Textile Research Centre Leiden
