Three frayed, horizontal tapestry fragments depict figurative scenes in shades of green, reddish-brown, and tan. On our left, a figure on horseback overlooks an animal. Centrally, a green creature faces a tan, four-legged animal. On our right, a person raises a blade toward a dark animal with an open mouth. All people featured have light skin tones. Irregular edges and holes mark the worn textile, where the original vibrancy has faded away.
