A village idyll: two sheep graze beneath a blossoming tree, ducks and geese swim below, and date palms and a flowering acacia rise toward the sun. The foliage is worked leaf by leaf, which gives the panel real depth.
- Size: 139 x 107 cm (55 x 42 in)
- Material: handwoven wool
- Handspun wool on a cotton warp, woven freehand
- Knotted fringe at both ends
- 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.
