I don't know much about this hanging. My searching has failed to find anything like it in the internet collections. It seems to have a Central Asian style - one of the Stans or Turkey. The material is probably wool. A vague memory has it possibly involved in horse culture. Fully stretched out it is about 7 1/2 ft. by 9 in. We used it for many years as an entry decoration. It is in good condition - possibly a little fading.
