About the Item

Her bravery in this act would lead to the events that would end up with the schemes of the villainous Haman being revealed, and Esther, Mordechai, and the rest of the Hebrews throughout the Persian Empire being saved from the decree of death. A rare and exciting piece that tells a wonderful story. handwoven; composed of wool, with silk inlay. Condition is very good, but with some areas of reduction and prior restoration.

Hanging: The tapestry comes ready for hanging, with linen backing and a strip of hook and loop tape at the top end, which can be connected to the opposite side of the supplied hook and loop tape, which could be tacked to your wall.
