The wax brocades of the cloths of honour
The cloths of honor, made of wax-brocades, behind the three high central figures, are in very poor condition. They were probably damaged in an earlier restoration by using heating lamps for consolidation. The heat in this case melted the wax. The restorer who did the damage was probably the same who did the repair. Here also, taking off the old repairs could lead to more damage.
