Hanging it
Close to square, it suits the wall above a console, a study, or an entryway where it can be the focal point. There is no sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape along the top edge and fix the partner strip to a wooden batten on the wall; a clip rail or a rod casing from a tailor are the other easy choices.
A vintage weaving
The child, the horse and the village behind them are all built in wool on the loom, the warm light of the scene coming from the colours of the yarn itself. The slight irregularity at the edges is that of a handwoven piece.
