From the Met ref it is a tapestry with a "linen warp (weaving)" not a wrap. It sounds as if it was part of a long strip on the poem, with other pieces in the the other museums. I'll add a ref, mainly re the Met piece. Johnbod (talk) 20:39, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Johnbod, if I haven't said before that you ought to be on payroll it's due only to my negligence. Of course, if you were on payroll I could censure you for your non-MLA complaint citation style but hey, who's quibbling. Drmies (talk) 20:22, 3 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Der Busant is a Middle High German verse narrative known from a single manuscript and several fragments. It tells of a love affair between the Princess of France and the Prince of England, who elope but are separated after a buzzard steals one of the princess's rings; after more than a year of separation, with the prince having gone mad and living as a wild man, they are reunited.
This fragment of a linen tapestry, which depicts the prince as a wild man and the princess on her palfrey, is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Tapestry: Unknown
