A woman and a man rest beneath a tree full of cranes, with date palms and domed village houses behind them and more cranes lining the water's edge below.
- Size: 186 x 124 cm (73 x 49 in)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Dye: Wool dyed in deep, colourfast shades
- Signature: Signed by the artist in the weave
- 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.
