    "description": "This is the left portion of what would have been a very large tapestry, intended to cover the wall of a nobleman's great hall.  Tapestries, besides being decorative, were used to provide insulation against cold winter drafts.  Scenes of hunting were common in such courtly contexts, as hunting was a popular activity of the land-owning classes.  The central figure of this work may be the duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good (1396-1467).",
