Thine Forever, Antique Perforated Paper Needlepoint on Ribbon Bookmark

I've become a great fan of punch/perforated paper needlepoints, in significant part for the wide range of imagery and especially text incorporated in them, and I think this one may be my very favorite that I have found--pure, poignant perfection. The much age toned and stained ribbon to which the needlepoint is attached, frayed at one end, really makes it I think, lending it an excellent objecthood and sense of endurance, indeed. I would very much honor this with a proper framing.
