Thank you for viewing. There are patterns on both sides. It was hung on the tree by a child, so there are some scratches (photo 4). I don't think it's noticeable when hanging, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It was used for one season and then stored. Please let me know if you would like me to take photos of any specific areas. There is no box. The back is flat, so it seems like it could be used as a wall hanging. Thank you for your understanding regarding used items and home storage.
