Framed Print of UN Members Viewing Giant Tapestry

(Original Caption). At the United Nations today, Fernand Van Langenhove, Belgium's Ambassador to the U.N. presented U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold with a beautiful piece of tapestry. The tapestry has 94, 000 miles of yarn and is believed to be the largest ever woven. The huge work measures forty-three and a half feet by twenty-eight and a half feet, weighs 300 pounds and was designed to fit a section of the north wall of the delegate's entrance to the General Assembly building. Its predominant colors are blues and golds. In the center of the design, doves of peace approach a fountain of good will. A heroic size female figure representing both Mother Earth and the United Nations is seen stopping a fight between groups of men. Here, members of the U.N. are shown viewing the giant tapestry. It was designed by Peter Colfs, of Antwerp. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
