Originally considered a contiguous panel, this tapestry was studied closely by scholars after 1976 and re-evaluated. The presence of aniline dyes led to the conclusion that the textile was made of five fragments of fourteenth-century date that had been incorporated into a new weaving patterned after scenes at Angers and made during the nineteenth century. The original fragments were designed by Hennequin de Bruges, and woven under the direction of Nicolas Bataille.
