I found this interesting article on Synagogue textiles that are shown

State Jewish Museum in Prague. Does anyone know if any of these

photographed elsewhere. The pictures in this article are not very
good and I
haven't been able to find them elsewhere.

At least *some* of the laces from the Blen site had been fairly well
photographed -- with some even diagrammed for further help in
understanding -- in the catalogue that the Jewish Museum in Prague
published in 2004. The Museum held a special exhibition of their laces
to coincide with the OIDFA Congress in Prague. The English title of the
catalogue is: Laces from the Collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague
(no authors listed on the cover but, in the end-of-the-book info, you
can see that the text was written by Dana Veselska and the photos are
credited to Dana Cabanova and Jiri Tatransky), The catalogue's ISBN #
is: 80-85608-86-3
There were only 1000 copies printed, so I don't know how easy/difficult
it might be for you to obtain one to even look at; I cannot find it
listed in the IOLI holdings and, if they don't have it, an ordinary
library (library loan) is even less likely to.
