A tall tree full of birds rises through the centre of the panel, more birds flying across the sky around it, while horses and other animals gather to drink at the river below.
- Size: 169 x 102 cm (66 x 40 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 tall format suits a narrow wall, a hallway, or the space beside a doorway or a staircase.
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.
