This tapestry represents the month of December, depicted by ice-skating on a frozen lake.This beautiful tapestry is Silkscreened (also known as serigraphed) onto an irregularly woven fabric made from wool, cotton or linen.

This tapestry is fully lined incorporating a sleeve along the top for hanging with a Hines hanging rod.
