9.25.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 3196- I am not an expert on tapestries so have provided numerous high-resolution images for your careful review, the tapestry fragment is overall intact and retains good color, though shows expected wear, some tonal variation/fading, light surface dirt and minor spotting throughout, the weaving displays scattered stitched repairs, visible transition threads, seams, and some areas of thread separation with associated gapping, I also note what appear to be some patched repairs in places as pictured, the borders are intact though with minor fraying and small losses, the blue outer border shows small holes where it appears to have been previously tacked, the current lining retains hanging hooks, overall the fragment is stable, with all wear, restorations, and losses consistent with age and use
