How to Read a Tapestry

  • Start with banners and inscriptions.
  • Follow movement across the scene; look for commanders.
  • Notice the foreground craft: armor, horses, standards.

Tip: Walk slowly; each panel rewards proximity.


Pair with Context

Bring a small timeline (on your phone) to place campaigns.


Bottom Line

Long walls, long memory. Scale is part of the message.
