While (currently) local to Steppes, I have not seen the extent / type of
damage and do not know if this is an original or a painted charter.

The questions I can immediately think of:
* is any of the text / decoration in the damaged area, of is it purely
paper that is involved in the damage?
* if only paper is involved, could the other three corners be trimmed to
match and the remaining scroll mounted on a blank?
* if only paper is involved, is a source of the same grade / weight /
finish paper available for a "splice" (there may be a better scribal
term...)?
* has the scribe / artist been involved in working on a solution?
