The tapestry depicts a scene from the Book of Daniel, where the three Hebrew youths are thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar but are miraculously saved. This tapestry is a prime example of Flemish tapestry weaving, with its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and captivating story. The tapestry’s decorative border features a variety of grotesques, animals, and plants, creating a visually rich and stimulating composition.
