Heraldic fabric of the Robertet family
The object features a Latin phrase ('Golden Mean') and a Greek phrase ('Horn of Amalthea'), referring to moderation and abundance respectively, symbolising the pursuit of a harmonious combination of the two opposites. While the words on the tapestry promote the family's virtues, the choice of Latin and Greek suggests their cultural ambitions.
