Nativity Triptych tapestry
This splendid tapestry was made in the 'low countries', probably
Brussels, around 1480. It is a very fine example of the work of the
famous tapestry weavers of that city and the design was produced by
a painter 'The Master of St. Gudule'.
It consists of three panels depicting the nativity. The
first shows the Angel appearing to Mary, the second, Mary and
Joseph worshipping the baby Jesus and the shepherds arriving at the
stable and the third shows the Magi bringing gifts to the baby
Jesus.
The frame is carved from wood, gilded and painted and bears the
coat of arms of the Flemish family 'de Raet'.
