This tapestry is interesting to me in that it is a wonderful example of visually concretized values. The first image below looks patchy because I used Photoshop to piece together the detail images that were available--unfortunately, I don't know where this tapestry is located or who made it.  In any case, flanking Jesus are the two thieves, one good, one evil.  Their body language is quite different as they hang from their crosses making it easy to guess which thief is which.
