A young woman returns from the water with a basket of fish balanced on her head, the sky behind her woven in facets like stained glass.
- Size: 120 x 100 cm (47 x 39 in)
- 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.
Its near-square format works above a console, in a study, or as the focal point of an entryway.
Hanging: the tapestry arrives without a sleeve or rod pocket. The simplest method is hook-and-loop tape sewn along the top edge, with the matching half fixed to a wooden batten on the wall. A clip rail also works, or a tailor can sew on a casing for a rod.
