About the Item

A Flemish allegorical tapestry from the first half of the 17th century, possibly mythological or biblical, envisioning a scene in which various figures seek guidance and help from a wise man that has arrived before them. Enclosed by an elaborate border of fruiting and flowering, interconnected by garlands, ribbon-ties, and swags. Wool with silk inlay. Measures: 13’2” H x 17’7” W. Hanging: The tapestry comes ready for hanging, with linen backing and a strip of hook and loop tape at the top end, which can be connected to the opposite side of the supplied hook and loop tape, which could be tacked to your wall.
