Millefleurs with the angels of faith and love holding an armillary atmosphere, Fragment of a Mille-Fleurs carpet of arms of the Miron family, personal physicians of the French kings. On a blue ground are flowering and rosette-growing plants. A celestial sphere of riveted gilded bands, wrapped around a sloping band with signs and adorned with a star on the poles, is held by two floating angels. The symmetrical figures have the body and head upright, the bent legs backwards as if flying. The long tunics, left red, right yellow, fall on and over one leg and are suspended twice. Banderoles with CREDE and AMA are blowing behind their waist. At the top a part of the border with inscription: A QUI PAR FOY ET CHARITE ESPERE (and bon endroit freshly touruent les spheres)., anonymous, Southern Netherlands, c. 1500 - c. 1525, ketting, inslag, tapestry, h 102 cm × w 188 cm
