Featured Old silk embroidery/tapestry

I would expect a lamb, not a stag in the scene if Agnes.

 

Nope, it's not mine, just an eBoo listing that I'm attracted to.

 

*dabs tear from eye*

So proud.

 

That features in a lot of European fairy tales as well, which is probably where Mark Twain got it from.

 

Thought 'going back to look at it' meant going to a B&M store. My apologies if you felt your photographic abilities were maligned.

 

I would like to state that at the time I was grousing about the photos, I knew the photos were not the work of @bluumz .

If I thought they were @bluumz photos, I would have just asked for more pictures of everything.

 

No offense taken, whatsoever.
And the photos I do take usually aren't the greatest, either!

 

I totally would have asked you for more pics.

I'd happily have this piece hanging in my house. Except for the fact that I live in Florida in a house with big windows and that would mean its utter destruction.

 

FYI, when doing some checking on Upper Rhenish tapestries, I ran across a fascinating paper. I haven't finished reading it, but so far I find it easy to read and quite interesting.

For anyone wanting to skim through, lots of ancient tapestry eye candy.

The man on the right is a dagger I think possibly. The one in the middle has a sword. And the man on the left I think possibly is holding a tied twitch. Looks like Tudor roses on two of the male headdress. Maybe the dandelion is a thistle and a stag on top. Maybe Mary Queen of Scots and the writing is old Gaelic? Anyway, I agree it’s not happy. Possibly a cross on the ladies neck in the middle.

 

Is that a shield in the center under the banner? Can anyone identify it?

 

She's wearing a crown as well. Arthur and Guinevere?

 

Somewhere I have an antique German dictionary. A friend told me he could barely read it because it's like Old English is. Maybe I could see if any of the words look familiar.
