<p><b>Monkeys having fun</b></p>
<p>Eight monkeys play with other animals, ropes and different objects. In the center, one of them plays a <b>bagpipe</b>, while another sprinkles water on a third one using a <b>syringe</b>. In one of the lower angles, another monkey rides astride a <b>dog</b>.</p>


<p><b>Mythological border</b></p>
<p>The border revolves around bunches of flowers and fruits, intertwined with symbolic figures over a light background: <b>Jason and Medea</b>, on the top border; <b>Fame </b>and <b>Wisdom</b>, in the lower one. <b>Venus and Cupid, Minerva </b>with shield and spear, <b>June </b>with peacocks, <b>Jupiter</b> with rays, scepter and eagle,<b> Ceres </b>with bunches of ears, and <b>Mars</b> with armor are the mythological gods who are repeated in the same position in the falling borders of all the cloths. </p>


<p><b>Monogram</b></p>
<p>The monogram formed by the enlaced letters SB was attributed to Seger Bombeck (act. 1543-1559), although it is currently thought to belong to Jehan Baudouyns, a Brussels weaver active between 1546 and 1554, at the service of Philip II and the Dukes of Mantua, among others.</p>


<p><b>In El Pardo Palace</b></p>
It has been set apart since 1992 for the decor of El Pardo Palace, as the residence for foreign dignities, and for the adornment of official ceremonies. After its exhibition in the Prado Museum in 1998, it is permanently exhibited in the Gallery of the Queen of that palace.
