Long description: Basketry hanging decorated with cotton thread glued on to the basketry background in the shape of an angel. Below the angel the word 'ANGEL' is written in letters made of thread glued on to the background. The angel is orange and red. The outline of the angel is black and so are the letters (they are underlined in green thread). The hanging can be hung up by two very thin strips of twisted fibre through two holes at the top of the hanging. [RH [OPS Move] 3/7/2017]
