A rare and unusual flat-woven tapestry, depicting a courtly scene. Folk weavings such as this example are characteristic of the Scandinavian rural textile tradition, which has a long history both in Sweden as well as Norway. This piece is quite sturdily woven and can be used both as a hanging as well as a floor covering.
