Hunting of Birds with a Hawk and a Bow (from the Hunting Parks Tapestries)

This tapestry, resplendent with its opulent palette, is brimming with a multitude of incidental details featuring animals, hunters, and shepherds. It forms part of a larger collection depicting scenes set within the confines of a hunting park. The central narrative here is that of bird hunting. Within this verdant enclosure, an archer takes careful aim at a bird nestled aloft in a fruit-laden tree. To his left, another fellow energetically swings a lure overhead, endeavoring to recall the hawk that majestically circles above the central tree. On the flip side of this arboreal stage, a heron finds itself ensnared in the fierce grip of a second hawk. Nearby, a hunter employs his staff to vault across a stream, his faithful hound scampering ahead. Adjacent to this flurry of activity, a shepherd has perched himself atop the fence, keen to observe the unfolding spectacle.
