Beyond garlanded portico with ribbon-suspended trophy of musical instruments This panel, along with the others in set, has been cut down at the sides. The attribution of the weaving to Roby le Jeune (as suggested on verso of photograph) is probably based on the partial inscription [...EUNE] on the plinth of the column at the left of the "Hunters & Fountain" piece (GCPA 0243016). However, this is the position usually reserved for designer's, not weaver's, name. Furthermore, Roby le Jeune has not been identified.
