    I came across this tapestry, which appears handmade, I’m not sure if the signature mark is there as it could be simple knot… It appears to have the longevity, prosperity mark, a lotus, and a significant figure symbolism. If anyone could help me with it, I’d appreciate it.

    I agree, not handmade.
    It is Chinese themed, but weavings like this were often made in Turkey, Egypt, or in Western Europe.
    How big is it?

    Another definite vote for machine made... and it looks to be a jacquard weaving, not a tapestry.
