The tapestry depicts scenes from the Resurrection. Christ rises from the tomb, his right hand held out in blessing, his left holding a jewelled cross on a staff, to which a pennon is attached. Below are the soldiers waking in alarm. In the landscape background on the right the three Holy Women are approaching the sepulchre, and on the left Christ is appearing in the garden to Mary Magdalene. The floating Christ is depicted more as if from an Ascension scene than a Resurrection, but the other figures correspond to the latter subject.
The border is composed of fruit including grapes, foliage, masks and bowls, and roses, richly woven in metal thread and coloured silks on a deep blue ground.
