What does this mean?

Dear Karen,

Thank you for choosing Mearto with your online appraisal.

A japanese late Meiji Period mid 19th century silk embroidery depicting two cranes. In Japanese folklore, the crane (or Tsuru in Japanese) is a strong majestic bird that mates for life and is said to live for a thousand years. It symbolizes honor, good fortune, loyalty, and longevity.

Good condition.
