Thank you for viewing! This is a tapestry by Rubi. It's a different version. It comes with string and a rod. I had it displayed in my room, so if you are concerned about minor imperfections or are seeking a perfect item, please refrain from purchasing ₍ . ̫. ₎ If you don't need the rod, the shipping cost will be lower, so I can offer it at a slightly reduced price! If you'd like to do this, please be sure to let me know in the comments before you buy. Thank you!
