I have seen the actual tapestry before. It's really interesting though not a real tapestry. It's in amazingly good shape considering it's over 1,000 years old. The details on the borders are fascinating with mythical animals and other strange imagery. This video allows one to see how skilled the sewing was which is striking when viewed up close but often lost in photographs. The video is interesting and informative.
