I always wondered about this tapestry. I've had it for years, not sure how I aquired it, but it must have been from a yard sale. I couldn't figure out where it was from, until I was watching TV in Kosovo with my new hubby. Wait----I have that pattern. "What?" See, the covering on the lecturn in front of that speaker! I have that pattern on a weaving at home! I think. So when I came home (sadly leaving hubby behind while we jump through the immigration hoops) I took some pictures. Hubby said yes, it is handmade Albanian! Pictures on the internet showed some weavings with the exact same black border, sort of a stepped zigzag.
I knew it was special, I just didn't know why LOL!
And here is a close-up
