Wool, silk; tapestry weaveexpand_more
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Mabon in memory of Elise Smith Mabonexpand_more 65.9
This is a fragment of a larger tapestry and therefore we can only speculate from the elaborate clothing and the numerous people depicted that this was a courtly gathering. It is possible that it represented an international meeting, as the scimitar-like sword worn by the missing figure at the left may identify an Eastern visitor to a Western court.
