Glorund sets forth to seek Turin (2)
Light isn't exactly good to show the back of the tapestry "Glorund sets forth to seek Turin". But you can more or less notice the threads on the back. It's a way the Aubusson tapestries are recognizable. Threads are sewed behind the tapestry to stay together.
Note it allows to fix a tapestry with its real colors after long periods of time. If the back isn't turned under the sun for example. Because the light and the conditions of keeping a tapestry are essential for they pass through the time.
We can see here the sun wasn't making a ;) on the drawing (bottom image). If you look the tapestry, you will find it doing that. I have no idea why it was made. Possibly to respond to the Christmas 1928 tapestry, where the Moon does ;)
