Stock sheet no. 25960 states that the 3 tapestries listed [referred to only as: a, b, c with corresponding dimensions] have been transferred from stock sheet 6104. However, the dimensions are 25960 quite small & thus probably do not represent a full tapestry panel, but possibly pieces of tapestry that had been reduced in size, as stated on stock sheet 6104.
