This blossoming tree and birds tapestry centres on a single great tree in full flower, its branches thick with blossom, flocks of birds crossing the sky around it and water at its foot with small animals along the bank.

Hanging it
The tall format belongs on a narrow wall, in a hallway, or beside a doorway or staircase. It arrives without a sleeve or rod pocket. Hook-and-loop tape along the top edge, with its mate on a wooden batten, is the easiest method. Clip rails and tailor-sewn rod casings work too.
One tree, woven freehand
The blossom fills the branches in plant-dyed wool, woven freehand in the Wissa Wassef style. The artist signed it in Arabic at the bottom right.
