Africa is represented by a lion hunt; Europe is embodied by a helmeted Minerva holding an arrow and a shield; two Indians facing each other, seated on a rock, symbolise America; an Eastern dignitary riding a camel evokes the East. 10 x 0.56 m. This famous lampas was re-woven by the Tassinari-Chatel Manufactory from 1970 onwards for the presidential residences; here it is shown in its original colours.
