31x23" Handwoven Egyptian Wool Tapestry, Fish Underwater Wall Hanging, Signed Original Folk Art

HANDWOVEN EGYPTIAN WOOL TAPESTRY — SIGNED UNDERWATER SCENE — ONE OF A KIND

A joyful dive beneath the surface, woven entirely by hand: schools of orange, coral, and sky-blue fish drift down through shafts of light into deep indigo water, weaving between golden coral fans, feathery green sea plants, and white anemones. Every fish — dozens of them, no two alike — is woven freehand in the flat slit-tapestry technique: no printing, no machine, no cartoon to copy, just dyed wool and the weaver's imagination, line by line.

The piece is signed by the weaver in Arabic, woven directly into the fabric — the living tradition of Egypt's celebrated village tapestry weaving, whose finest works hang in museums worldwide. This is not a reproduction of that tradition; it is the tradition, continuing today.

HANDWOVEN — ONE OF ONE
An original textile artwork. The natural wool texture, slit-weave joins, and warp fringe at the edges are the signatures of true handweaving. Small irregularities are the hand of the artist, not flaws.

WHERE IT WORKS
Pure delight on a wall — wonderful in a living room, study, bathroom, or a child's room or nursery, where the fish become a storybook. One of one; when it's gone, it's gone.
