1395 Apx - Tristan Quilt #2

This quilt currently resides in the Bargello Museum in Florence and is not available to the public. The style and arrangement of the scenes are the same as in the V&A quilt (Tristan #1)

The quilt measures 8 feet by 7 feet. The right border is gone as are the upper two scenes of the center and the upper part of the left border. (Loomis p 63)
