This is a large heavy beautiful tapestry with a no wail corduroy cotton velvet lining. The tassels and fringe are excellent heavy quality. The words are in Latin and it has a medieval look to the pictures. I am no expert on this kind of thing. I can't tell you much about it except that it is in excellent condition. It is 48" wide and 38" long with 5" fringe. Thank you for shopping with me.
