MONUMENTAL HANDWOVEN EGYPTIAN WOOL TAPESTRY — SIGNED VILLAGE PANORAMA — 10 x 5.7 FEET — ONE OF A KIND
An entire Egyptian village world, woven by hand across ten feet: the sun sets orange behind flowering trees while flocks of birds cross the evening sky. A mother and child ride their white donkey along the path, a farmer leads his water buffalo and gazelle to the stream where ibis wade, and a fish swims the canal below. A mango tree hangs heavy with fruit beside towering date palms, domed mud-brick houses glow gold among the gardens, and flowers fill every corner — hibiscus, hollyhocks, and meadow blooms from edge to edge.
Hundreds of individually woven figures, animals, trees, and blossoms — no pattern, no machine, no repetition — every line decided at the loom. This is the grand subject of Egypt's celebrated village weaving tradition: daily life made monumental. A weaving of this scale represents many months of continuous work.
HANDWOVEN — ONE OF ONE
An original textile artwork of exceptional scale. The natural wool texture, slit-weave joins, and warp fringe are the signatures of true handweaving. Small irregularities are the hand of the artist, not flaws.

WHERE IT WORKS
A gallery piece for a serious wall: double-height living rooms, stairwells, lobbies, offices, restaurants, or a grand dining room. It carries a room on its own — guests will cross the room to find the donkey, the gazelle, the fish. One of one; when it's gone, it's gone.
