A Nile scene read from top to bottom: the setting sun, flocks of birds along the far shore, and below them the river itself, alive with dozens of fish, swimming geese and water plants.
- Size: 181 x 113 cm (71 x 45 in)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Style: Wissa Wassef style
- Dye: Coloured with natural plant dyes
- Signature: Signed by the artist in Arabic, 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.
