This was the left side of a larger tapestry depicting, at the right, an armorial shield supported by a wild man and wild woman. This tapestry was illustrated as intact in the exhibition catalogue French Gothic Art of the Thirteenth to Fifteenth Century (Detroit Institute of Arts, November 16-December 6, 1928), cat. no. 100 (lent by French and Co.). However, it had already been divided by this time, as the two pieces, called "Fragments of an Armorial Tapestry," were catalogued separately.
