[QUOTE="Jim5, post: 357267, member: 7467"]Hi, This 5 by 5 feet tapestry in very good condition was stored in my parent's house although it's very likely from their parents or grandparents since it was never on my parent's walls and they were not antique collectors. So, it seems very old, I'm 63, this has been around a long time. Nothing written on back of it, there was a paper tag stuck on it but most of it fell off over the years, all that's left is a S and smaller 158 or 156 below it, it doesn’t appear there were numbers after 8 (or 6) or before 1, it’s not handwritten. Can only see with magnifying glass so unable to get photo with my camera. I did a lot of googling under “Images” and on ebay for something like it to find info about it and approximate value but couldn’t find anything even remotely similar to it. I've always found the writing on it to be very unusual, curious what language it is and what it says. So, what do you all think of this? Thank you very much for any thoughts on it. Edit: Found out today that it looks like this will likely go on ebay so hoping to find some ballpark amount that it's worth. I searched there and google for Egypt tapestries but found none. Thanks!
