I received this as a gift, but I don't plan to use it, so I'm putting it up for sale. I'm not sure of the official way to use it, but it seems like it could be used in various ways, such as a table runner. There are no tags, so the material is unknown. There are some areas where gold threads are coming out, but this was the case when I received it. Since this item has been in someone else's possession once, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Width: Approximately 40cm Length: Approximately 174cm (excluding fringe) Please forgive any slight errors as this is amateur measurement. I will ship it as compactly as possible.
