Tapestry woven in silk and wool. The tapestry is framed with borders of military trophies with a larger trophy of flags and lances at the centre top surmounted by trumpets crossed through a laurel wreath. The trophy in the centre of the lower border has mortar, canons, a bugle, drums and a barrel.
In the foreground four mounted officers, including the commander with a baton, look towards an army besieging a fortified town on a nearby hill. On the right is a ruin. Smoke billows from the town and from the lines of soldiers. About 20 warp threads to the inch. (en)
