Condition Report:
The tapestry has been reduced; the lower border is lacking. Reverse is lined with hooks. Some restoration throughout, including enhancement—using red thread—of the upper lips of the figures. Some well-done reweaving of certain sections. Some patching and piercing in the lighter silk sections. One small hole near the lower right border, with additional minor losses to the silks with minor splits. Good colors with minor fading.
