Condition
Textile extremely fragile and would benefit from some additional scattered restoration. Borders with some separation and restoration work for stabilizing--borders appear to be later additions. Scattered restoration to scenes typically to join and stabilize ornament--not particularly distracting or overt. Little to no signs of moth damage. Light fading and discoloration commensurate with age and minor light exposure. Scattered separations on scene--most severe surrounding powder flask on far right figure. Later backing and with rolled rod flap for displaying on wall. No other signs of damage, loss or repair.
