Tightly packed square Kufic letters run in parallel strokes across a square field, the lettering reading in rows like a woven grid, with a plain margin and a wide border.
- Size: 50 x 50 cm (20 x 20 in), width x height
- Technique: Khayamiya — cotton appliqué, stitched entirely by hand
- One of a kind: cut and stitched by hand, not printed. The flat photographs show this exact piece; the room photographs are illustrations.
A small piece for a kitchen wall, a reading corner, a shelf niche or a gallery-wall grouping.
Khayamiya is the appliqué of the Cairo tentmakers. Every shape is cut from cotton, its edges turned under and hand-stitched onto the backing with tiny, close stitches, so the picture is built up layer by layer rather than printed or painted.
Hanging: a rod pocket is sewn across the back of the top edge. Slide a curtain rod, a dowel or a slim batten through it and hang it from two brackets or nails.
