Arabian Nights wall hanging:

This is a "canvas print" called the Arabian Nights that's 33 inches square with a 32 lb. distressed-wood frame with free shipping. That must be why it costs around $240. The patterns are are quite nice, something you might find in the pattern books created by Owen Jones in the 19th century with arabesque flower motifs from handmade glazed ceramic tiles and mosaics.
