Hey - I would look at a 4 point harness instead of drilling into it.

i.e. hooks on 4 corners going back to a central (but offset vertically higher) chain on the back. This will save you from drilling into the piece, and of the 4 hooks I would make 3 smaller, maybe with a black cover to conceal, then the bottom right one make bigger and have exposed to make it look like a fish hook and that you "caught" it.

How does the back look?

If you have a high enough ceiling With a piece like that I'd consider hanging it i the middle of a space and suspending it from ion from the top edge.
