Hanging it
Its near-square shape fits above a console, in a study, or by the front door. There is no sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape along the top and fix the other half to a wooden batten. A clip rail is fine too, or a tailor can sew on a casing.
Lake and shore
The lake, the shoreline trees and the birds are woven freehand in plant-dyed wool. Signed by the weaver in the weave, this bird tapestry is a calm, open scene.
