The enigma of disc-shaped objects in Summer’s Triumph Tapestry

Exploring the Bruges Summer’s Triumph Tapestry

Newsroom January 16 12:12

In 1538 AD a tapestry was created in the city of Bruges in Belgium, known as the Summer’s Triumph. It depicts the victorious ascension of a ruler to power. However, there is something far more modern interest depicted in the tapestry, which would be easy to miss unless you were looking closely – multiple objects in the sky, which have the classical UFO shape that is popularized in the media.

This tapestry was crafted in Bruges in 1538 and is now housed in the Bayerisches National Museum. The city of Bruges is the capital and the largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium in the northwest of the country. The origins of the city go back to the pre-roman Era and it has been the target of many invasions because of its strategic location.
