This tropical fish tapestry shows schools of fish drifting through a column of light, crossing the deep water above a sea floor of ferny plants and striped coral.
Details
- Size: 32 x 23 in (81 x 58 cm)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Signature: signed by the weaver in Arabic
- Finish: warp fringe
- One of a kind: woven freehand with no sketch or cartoon behind the warp, so no second copy exists; the photographs show this exact piece.
Hanging it
The tall format is right for a narrow wall, a hallway, or the space next to a doorway or staircase. The back has no rod pocket or sleeve. Hook-and-loop tape stitched to the top edge, with its partner strip on a wooden batten, is the easiest method; a clip rail works as well, or a tailor can sew on a rod casing.
Schools of fish, by eye
No cartoon sits behind the warp, so each school is woven as it comes, fish by fish, and the weaver signs it in Arabic. The ends are finished with a warp fringe.
