A quiet night scene: a great flowering tree at the centre, hills and village life around it, and a moon lighting the sky over goats grazing below.
- Size: 157 x 100 cm (61 x 39 in)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Style: Wissa Wassef style
- Dye: Coloured with natural plant dyes
- Signature: Signed by the artist, bottom right
- 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 wide format is made for the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard, where it can run almost the full width of the furniture.
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.
