Abstract
The wall hanging and its state of conservation are described: still in the place for which it was conceived, the hanging is complete and in reasonable condition. Given the lack of information on flock leather, references were collected on the history and technique of this unusual type of artifact, of which only some rare examples remain. Archival documents were also found, which permitted the dating of the installation of the hanging. The results of the first investigations on the constituent materials are given.
