Summary
A two leaf gilt leather screen. Size: each fold is 56 x 164 cm. The top corners are rounded. The moulded leather is probably reused leather from a wall hanging. Each fold has two full pieces of leather and an extra strip along the bottom. There is paper with a blue pattern stuck to the back of the leather, and this is covered with an embossed paper over the entire back. The cover strips are of an undecorated dark gold coloured leather with plain dome headed nails.
