Black Family Tapestry

"The tapestry looked immensely old; it was faded and looked as though Doxys had gnawed it in places. Nevertheless, the golden thread with which it was embroidered still glinted brightly enough to show them a sprawling family tree dating back (as far as Harry could tell) to the Middle Ages. Large words at the very top of the tapestry read: The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black 'Toujours pur'"

- Description

The Black family had a tapestry depicting their family tree. It has been made in the eleventh century, presumably by the early members of the family, containing family members dating back to the Middle Ages. The tree contained the name and respective dates of the family members inside small pieces of parchment, as well as a small image of the Blacks by birth (not of the Blacks by marriage). Disowned members of the family had their images burned off the tapestry and their descendence as well as their husband/wife name were not even included on the tapestry.

Creation
The Black family tree tapestry was created circa the 11th century and was presumably passed down the subsequent generations of Blacks, as it found its place at 12 Grimmauld Place in the late twentieth century.

Walburga Black
During the mid-twentieth century, Walburga Black was in charge of blasting off the tapestry the images of the disowned members of the family. In around 1975, she burned his older son's name, as well as Alphard Black's for giving Sirius a "decent ammount of gold" after he ran away from home.
