Early 15th century tapestry.
Cluny museum - Paris.
Against a background of leaves and flowers, a lady is offered a casked from
the hands of her page, while a couple is advancing towards them. All the
characters are dressed in the Italian fashion which was introduced in France
after Charles VIII conquered Naples in 1495.
