Overall professionally stabilized and ready to hang. Both reduced in size and configuration from a larger tapestry. Areas of re-weaving and sewn tears throughout, as is normal. To one example, the central figures' blue robes and the blue draper behind the crowned figure are possibly replaced in part because the colors are too vivid and the fibers do not look as old.
