I was immediately attracted to this  late 1600's early 1700's French tapestry fragment because of the colors and motifs. Wool with silk accents.

 

From left to right the motifs are: 

-a turkey

-a somewhat grotesque looking winged cherub

-an urn holding flowers

-figure of a woman

-figure of a woman

-Maria holding a lamb with flames above it's head

-group of florals with a bird above

-figure of man

-group of florals and leaves

-figure of a woman

-partial motif of an urn with florals and leaves

 

 Photos are a good represenation of actual color.

 

Measurements

 

2 meters 17 cm in length x 48 cm wide. 

 

Condition

 

Overall in very good condition Colors are good, strong and even without stains. Tiny splits here and there but nothing major and you will see some old repairs. Some spots with some slight surface wear but nothing distracting and what you would expect on an item of this age. The last motif at the right hand side appears to be an add although undoubtedly from the same original piece. You can see a seam at the back.
