Brussels Tapestry in wool and silk, end of the 16th century
This tapestry depicts a large military escort mourning the death of their sovereign. In the foreground, we see armoured, helmeted, armed senior officers with shields at their feet, at the head of an armed column, and in the background, horsemen, some of them turbaned in the Eastern fashion, riding richly harnessed mounts. One of them raises the shroud of the deceased to present it to the audience. A mountainous landscape can be seen on the horizon. Braided border. Beautiful bright colours. (Maintenance restorations)
