What to do with Hermes scarf?



I received this beautiful scarf from my sister a few years ago when she traveled to France. One of the best gifts I've ever received because it's just downright gorgeous. The pattern, the color...just gorgeous. Unfortunately since I got it, it's just been sitting in it's hermes box (which I think is pretty too). It's too short to wear but I want to display it. Should I frame it? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
