About the Item

An antique Brussels biblical tapestry from the late 16th century, attributed to Jan (Ian) Raes, depicting Moses at right, with Joshua kneeling before him in the sophisticatedly rendered central field. Enclosed by a wide primary border featuring meticulously drawn allegorical vignettes, with a blue outer slip having the Brussels town mark. Wool with silk inlay. Size is 11.0 H x 8.5 W. Excellent condition. A rare find, and an amazing addition to a large home, a house of worship, or a museum!
