Late to the party, but the language may be Swiss German. I found one traveler's mention of the original being an 18th century piece that is in the collection of the Basel Historical Museum. The traveler's entry is here, with a photo of the original in the museum.

MrOzzy posted:How did you ever find this? Got lucky? Mostly luck with a few teaspoons of stubborn, I guess. I just googled things, switching it up when terms led to repetitive results. I don't remember for certain which string ended up working, but I recall having the best luck when I included "verdure" (that type of background) and some of the beasts that are shown (gryphon, lion, unicorn, stag). I also deliberately did not include the word "tapestry," since from the OP's photo, I wasn't sure whether it was a woven textile or an embroidered one. Each search's image results were fairly quick to look over, since the ribbons with text are unusual and quick for the eye to catch. But you are absolutely right, they are not easy to decipher!
