Royal Tapestry: Kings' Assembly

More about Royal Tapestry: Kings' Assembly

A densely ornate, highly detailed tapestry features a central scene of eleven royal or holy male figures, primarily kings, rendered in an illustrative, old master style reminiscent of medieval or Byzantine art, with a warm color palette dominated by reds, golds, and muted greens.

The central figure, a king with dark hair and a long black beard, sits at a richly draped table covered in a red cloth with intricate gold floral patterns. He wears a heavy gold crown, a black and gold brocade robe with wide sleeves, and sits with his hands resting on an open book. A smaller closed book and a gold lidded pot are also on the table.

To his immediate left (viewer’s right), two kings are seated, facing each other. The king in the foreground wears a gold crown, a long red robe with gold trim, and holds an open book, looking towards another figure. The king behind him also wears a gold crown and a red robe.

To the central king's immediate right (viewer’s left), two kings are standing. The king in the foreground wears a crown and a red robe, extending his hand towards the central figure.
