The tapestry shows six scenes from the Passion of Christ. The iconography is based on accounts in the Gospels, with variations and additions taken from mystery plays. The scenes are: Christ before Pilate, Christ before Herod, Christ returns to Pilate, the Flagellation,and Christ crowned with thorns. Predominant colors: reds, blues, greens, purples (faded), yellows, cream, brown and black. Most of the blacks have rotted away and been replaced with dark browns. Some restorations, chiefly along bottom edge which was torn.
