19th CENTURY JAPANESE HANGING SILK FABRIC TAPESTRY PHOENIX AND KIRIN
c.1890. Beautiful 19th century silk tapestry measures ~55" x 45" and features a phoenix circling above what I believe is a Kirin (most likely Japanese from the Meiji period). Wear throughout tapestry with some loss of fabric; stitching along the seams (all sides) has frayed/broken in some places; fitted with brass rings along top (there are currently 8 rings with the upper left ring missing); two small parallel partial tears in lower left corner (~2" and 1", see last photograph).
