mhm, agree with alxwrght. Seems to be hung on a door (for two holes on the edges).

Yup – as alxwright says.
Here’s a transcription with all the characters (including diacritics) that you see in the image:
اهلاً و سهلاً
Instead of the more everyday ﻬ medial form of ه/ﻫ haa’, the calligraphy uses the simplified, more calligraphic ﮩ version and the و waw is superimposed on the angled alif of the first لاً laam-’alif compound character.
It says اهلا وسهلا “ahlan wi-sahlan” meaning welcome in Arabic.
