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.
