An extra-long panorama of life along the Nile. A minaret and clustered houses sit above the water, date palms line the bank, and herds of sheep, cattle and donkeys move between the fields and the river with the villagers who tend them.
- Size: 242 x 118 cm (95 x 46 in)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Dye: Coloured with natural plant dyes
- 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.
At this size it becomes the room's main event: a stairwell, a double-height wall, a long dining-room wall or a hotel lobby.
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.
