Something different and very lovely, just quite disappointed it came without being hang-up ready. It included wire and rings but they were in a package taped haphazardly to the back of the art. The box the item arrived in was a real hot mess and I thanked the stars the artwork was still in one piece with just a few small bumps on the frame. Aside from that, not too many of us really have time to start stringing, balancing and hanging a Christmas painting along with everything else that has to be done at Holiday time. Had I known such a nice painting would make me unhappy, I would have chosen something different. It went straight up into the attic! I hope I remember to get the painting put together at least before Thanksgiving next year!
